| I've heard good things about the Rock Shox Indy as a pretty good
low end fork (still costs over $200 though).

| There is such a high turnover rate in the MTB industry right now you would do
well to hunt for a used low-end suspension fork.

| The Indy line has forks that range from $180.00 to about $220.00. The
higher end is the replacement for the Q21R and the low end replaced the
Quad 5. This is one item that is worth considering getting through
mail order or if you can find a shop with last year's Q21R for around
$200.00 that might be a good way to go also.

| Actually all the Indy's are the same and they are still making the Quad 5. The
only difference between the three models of Indy's is weight. The SL uses a
lighter aluminum steerer. All three (sl,xc,c) can be upgraded to longer travel
with the purchase of a kit and the internals are the same. The only difference
inside is the SL uses a one piece spring space/connector while in the other two
it's two pieces. The C is the model that is OEM, although I have seen it for
sale on the aftermarket. All three use a quad 5 sized elastomer and a spring.

Thanks all,
Looks like I'll be getting the RS Indy C for this frame, for my on/off
road riding this will be fine. Found a set along with a few other parts
at www.bikeworld.com (149.99/Indy C). At present, the frame is gutted
and waiting for me to repaint it.
