Banshee Morphine.

[Unitedmoto]

Hey everyone, I've recently got hooked back on riding. I Used to ride a fairly stock kona scrap, but after having nothing but problems i decided to build my own bike. My local shop hooked me a barely ridden banshee morphine frame for 200$ and thats basically what began this madness.

The Bike currently has Sun rim double tracks front and back. FSA gap cranks, e13 bashguard, singlespeed set up, FSA headset, hook worms, dmr pedals, all the good stuff. Now, I've been getting a little more heavily into jumping and some minor freeride.

The bikes holding up great.... aside from my forks. I have a set of 2005 DJ3's and i absolutely hate them. This fork is killing me, it will pass for small Dj's and some minor dropping. Being a big guy(2oo pounds without gear) Im scared to push the limits riding this fork, its just not cutting it.

I'm looking for a good fork that i can hit drops and bigger gaps with and know its gonna hold up. I know everyones going to say the Usual, 66's etc etc, but i really dont have THAT much cash to drop on a fork. Im not opposed to buying used, but would like to keep it new if possible.

Any suggestions for something that will meet the criteria? :monkeydance:

pikes are good, how bout a domain? my buddy rocks one and he's about your weight. Also the new 55 from marz is a little less then the 66 isnt it? the amount of travel you want is really going to dictate the fork you go with.
