The fact that there was only one other bidder should be a major clue about other folks' opinions I'm afraid. It could have been built anywhere and Is a typical budget priced bike sold by catalogues and BSO vendors. If you Google for more information you will come across someone in Indonesia (I think) that has one. |

A seized front fork is not easy to service, and you won't be able to get spares for that one. An LBS will probably want to replace it. -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |

A local bike shop. > Can anyone give a link to fork repair info online? I suspect it'd be cheaper to replace it with a brand new one. Add in the cost of fitting it to your bike and you might as well buy a brand new bike thobut. |

> Can anyone give a link to fork repair info online? Wot Mark said. The fork repair companies that exist, such as TF Tuned, won't touch that one. There will be no user serviceable parts in there. Bearing in mind the rest of the bike's capabilities, my suggestion would be to replace the fork with a rigid one rather than suspended. Your LBS (Local Bike Shop) can do that. This will make the bike lighter and more responsive, and frankly the rigid fork will work better than any cheap suspension fork. -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |

You'll probably need circlip pliers, but apart from that it's usually a fairly simple exercise. |
