builttoride · 07-09-2003, 11:39 PM

bearing in mind that money matters... big time!

I'm looking to get a new rear shock for my ellsworth joker...

options....

#1Try get discount of $100US off the nex stratos el jefe...

but would have to file away a bit of my frame (the part of the frame is just the second shock mount, so is not structural... and I would never ever use it neways.

#2 get a romic and then work hard to make the money back

#3 look at buy and sell, and try and get adeal on any thing else like fox RC, or maybe even avalanche?.. etc...

what do you recon... I'm begining to thing romic, cos then I would get warrenty and performance!?

cheers big ears!

look for a used avalanche,even if it is used it will still probably be stronger and work better than almost all other offerings.good luck finding someone who wants to part with one tho
