Rebuild fork or go rigid
Title says it all. Im in a constant battle to keep original parts on my 94 Marin Indian Fire Trail, or to modernize into something else.
Rebuild the forks with a kit. They're not size completely but the elastomers are surely just gunk. Keep the wide, modern mtb bars.
Get a black or polished rigid fork, modern gravel bars and commit to a bike packing build.
I live in colorado and would use a bike packing build more, and i have a modern mtb. But i dont want to part with this sick fork, the guy that sold me it used to race this back in the day and I feel like I'm doing it a disservice?
Maybe ill just have 2 bikes...
