    Early Bontrager Race Lite

    But the race/race lite came in a suspension and a non suspension version right - So to replace a suspension fork you would need a bit more? Or is it just the head tube angle?

    Early Bontrager Race Lite

    A rule of thumb I use, approx: 410mm for 51mm - 63mm travel. 420mm for 63mm - 80mm travel. 440mm for 80mm - 100mm travel.

    Is all original with a suntour xc pro group - but there is some small spot rust here and there - the original tan wall tires are falling apart but have a set of IRC Mythos that come along. Has original saddle too, to replace the flite. Better photos later:

    bring out your bontrager?

    I know it’s not the consensus but if it’s for the trail the order is almost upside down. The forks are the issue here - it’s very hard to get hold of 1” forks that really can take a beating. But if you have the luck to find a Sid or something the race/ race lite are amazing else a late...

    Early Bontrager Race Lite

    Its a hard one - does the bike fit you as pictured above? I think from an aesthetic point of view, the P10 style goes better whit a horizontal toptube, like bikethinkes build:
