Fork + Shock $1000 or less

[Lucky Pete]

Having just read the 17 pages of Rob's build of the Chinese carbon frame and watched the videoI think I wll be heading down the same route. Was considering a Frey but the current 6 months delievery time doesnt work for me.

Im just trying to pull together a list of what I need but need to pull back the spec little on what components I can buy. The fact Im not all that good a rider means less spec wont hurt me either Having said that Im all ears as to how you would spend $1000 or less on a 160-170 fork and matching shock/coil. Was thinking Lyril RC but open to all and any suggestions. Cheers!

Oh Im pretty lucky. Take off parts would work just fine as long as the steerer isnt cut too short etc.

Get a RS Yari RC, and a Super deluxe. Yari is the the same chassis as lyric but more basic internals, however it can be upgraded later if you want to a Lyric spec.

You should be able to pick one up cheap, and its pretty common to find them second hand, but unused as people often are them off a new bike when swapping out the fork.

Thanks TrackRat, hoping to pick up a 170 at this stage.
