tbh after owning a dj an argyle and ridden a pike and a revelutoin i can say if your on a budget get an argyle yes not a great fork i know but out performs any dj ever but seriously if you had riddin a revelutoin or a pike youd save trust me go top end on forks pike/revelutoin (refering the crap that was going on for the last ten pages)
and id be happy enought to try any fork out there
