good value forks for One-One Inbred

[village idiot]

i've got an Inbred for x-country cycling (too fat and old for free-riding and knackered by back so can't do downhill). It currently has the original rigid forks, but i am yearning for some suspension forks.

i've been out of the trends for a good few years now (my last suspension 'rig' being a Dirtworks Monster with massive Hannebrink UD triple-clamp forks). i want something with a handlebar mounted lock-out as much of my riding is on-then-off road.

i've seen some Rockshox Tora 318 Air+Poploc forks http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=product&prod... which seem to offer everything I want (not too light, nice white finish to match the frame.. lol etc etc). Seems like a good price too... didn't really want to spend over £150.

any thoughts? if i go for them... what travel should i go for? 80mm or 100mm? (i don't want to upset the angles too much)

cheers

For the money the Tora will do you fine. Alternative might be to look at second hand, but then you need to trust where it's come from.

100mm is spot on with the Inbred, as it will run up to 5" forks, but I believe designed for 100mm.
