I'm looking to get back into biking after years behind my desk at work.

I'm looking for all your expert advice! I want to upgrade this bike, but on a budget currently until i can upgrade to the full sus bike I'm aiming for.

What forks?
Brakes?
etc?

Thanks in advance, ill attach photos

You could grab a used marzo 55 fairly cheap
Brakes again.. just get something cheap, some old hayes 9s or something
Problem is now you will also need new hubs, rims, rotors to accommodate the new brakes.

Hunt around for cheap bits in the BuySell section, if you want to upgrade to a better bike don't bother putting much money into this one...

Thanks, yeh i'd be looking at new wheels any way so discs are in my top to do's.

Always like marzocchi's but heard they had gone a bit downhill, and not in a good way ha!

I shall look into them. I dont think buying new is an option especially considering your getting really good second hand stuff fairly cheap!
