OK another stupid question coming up

I have recently bought new Rock Shox Recon 100mm front forks my my current bike, I take it you need to match the back and front travel, ie you can't have 100m on front and 140mm on back?

Are you still looking? have a look at this, i have the same frame and its the dogs bollox!! i have a better rear shock but the RP2 is still good.
It will ride like a hardtail when you want it to and handle much more than you'll possibly ever throw at it.

That looks really nice and thanks, but no, I ended up getting a Kona Hei Hei 2010 frame, came with Fox RP23 float, front Mech and SDG seat and post, paid £290 for it, in the shop now getting changed over...

Yes I like it, some people said they were heavy but I think it's really light, you can hear how light it is when you tap the metal...

It was good out there today, really slippery but that kinda makes it more fun :D

Not just you... and you gave me alot of help for which I was grateful :P

Looking into it I think some of the Kona frames are, as they are all mountain and have to be Sturdier?
