Desolation
Adventurer
Due to an injury I have learned that I can no longer participate in certain activity's. Ok, no big thing I can live without Bowling.
I have also discovered that :bike_rider: is no longer pleasurable.
I started Mountain Biking before there were MTB's, and BMX long before that. I was forced to stop a few years ago. After a bunch of therapy I am better then I was but I can not ride my old school ridged CrMo long, or on anything that approaches technical dirt. Before I drop the coin for a new fully suspended bike that I may not be able to ride regardless, I think it would be smart to see if just adding a suspension fork to my existing frame and putting in some hours might save me from making a purchase that in the end I can not use.
My question is: For general use, and nothing hard core, and fitted into an old skewel threaded head set frame, preferably using the existing Wheel/rim-brakes
Where, what should I look for and how much should it cost?
Installation I can easily handle.
Oh and if it helps I stand 6'6" and weigh in at 280Lbs.
Thanks!
