Hey guys, so as you can all tell I am new here and this is my first post. I'm trying to get some advice on components and what not for a bit of a rebuild.
I recently picked up a 2003 Marin Rift Zone, and it needs some work/replaced parts. It currently has some Hayes hydraulic disc brakes on it that are in good condition. The frame is also in great condition along with the front tire set up.
I'm in Iowa and a rookie at this, so the bike doesn't need to be anything top notch. I'm just looking for decent parts that will hold up and have a good value.
The fork (answer manitou skareb) and rear shock (fox float R) are completely wore out and need replacing, but they are stock so it was expected.
The shifting levers need replacing as well and the derailleurs could use a tune.
So I'm looking for advice on what forks and rear shocks I should look into. I considered the fox rp23 for my rear, but I haven't heard anything good about it yet. Lockout would be preferred on both if possible.
Thanks a lot. Any information and advice is appreciated.
