ok, forks went out today 3rd day air. marzocchi says they'll be back before xmas. i agree and understand with the whole not guaranteeing anything on the phone. covering his own ass. just frustrating when you get a brand new item and have to return it for repairs immediately. i'll get over it though. actually i am pretty much for now n e ways. time will only tell for sure.

Steve at B-n-H has been oober helpful. he even put on a "loaner" fork for me. turns out that the original 22 lo shock that i traded back in on the new ones was still around the shop. well, no more. theey're back on the bike. great things happens sometimes and so this weekend i shall be looking for a ride?
