blah?

[seand]

if the fork was taken care of and not abused - bottomed and such...why be concerned about it?

just for your first few hard rides pay attention to any noises or odd movements in the fork...

maybe have a shop look at it before/after you first few rides just to make sure...

either way, you have a nice bike :D welcome to the boards!

[Neo]

[eddiebrannan]

[David]

[MrGiggles]

Sounds sweet! well if the fork goes bad I will put my Flick on it (still in box) but no reason to use it yet till I get whatever I can outta this fork! thx for the welcome guys!

Welcome aboard Mr. Giggles..enjoy Whistler - I'll have ridden there myself for the 1st time 2 weeks from today.

Nice bike...you need to go get her dirty:)

Blaine, I am somewhat saddened by your lack of .243-related pics at this point. As long as you're riding it, we'll overlook this 'situation'.
