I like these.

I think you should go all out and treat it to pair of 55 RC3 Ti's. They're loads better than the CR versions, especially as you've got a nice rear shock to go on it.

So I've finally started building it, just need to build some wheels and I'll be there!
When I do go for a new fork, x-fusions new 160/34mm slant fork looks like a new contender...
