Those forks look far too short for it, isn't it meant to be 130-160mm or something? Im guessing it's a small frame too.
But as for the colour, that's just wrong! Pixie blue all the way ;D

Forks look fine to me. It may be a little twitchier with shorter travel, but it is only a 15.5" frame. Probably handle absolutely fine.

Nice bike. You buying fazerboy?

that bike needs burlier forks then that, they'd prob break the first time you took it out!

*sigh*
It's a small.
One day somebody may decide to part with a large one....
If I havn't explicitly been told 'no'. Then I can.

Its quite old, at least 4 years, compare the dropouts to the current frame.

Mine has 120mm maxle rebas and its real nice. I remember seeing silverfishes demo bike with 130mm revs and thinking it was underforked, i had 150mm z1s with a long a2c then. They were right, i was wrong.

Only was I'd get rid of my large is if I got a medium in exchange... And even then I dunno! Mine has Pikes on it, lovely at 140mm on steep stuff but I'd probably wind it down a bit for twisty stuff.
