My main concern is weight.  As long as they are suspension 100mm forks... that are light weight, good to go. (as long as I can afford them.)

What are the differences within the Rebas? Team/Race/SL.  Looks like the going price for a NEW Reba is a bit over $400....  $420ish.  Not sure what model Reba they are though.

The Team is top dog with the Black Box motion control, same as on the SID's. The Race and SL feature the tried and true RS motion control. I believe the SL is the striped down and lightest version of the 3 and can be found in the $300 range if you shop around, I got an unused 06 on ebay last year for $200. You may consider a Like New used Reba, just make sure the steerer tube is long enough for your application.

thanks for the explanation. The SL is what I want. Basic, light and cheap. 10-4 on checking the steer tube length. Been there done that got the T-shirt. I was only 14yrs old but that lesson still lingers lol.  That'd be great if I could get a new older model for a good price. Man you guys are full of information and help.  I just want to get skooled in the bike tech dept so I can be done with it and get out there and ride.
