You must of been tired posting at 2.32am. I understand good stuff requires a hefty price tag but it runs a risk of turning people away when they see all this expensive equipment in mags, internet and shop floors. I work at a bike shop and can see the purse strings being kept tight. But then again most products are over priced. We all see that when we are looking for a sofa, car, washing machine. The bike industry doesnt have to be any different.....does it?. Andrew, Ha Ha. You must of been tired posting at 2.32am.

To put things in perspective, these are £750? I just bought a set of 2010 Float 36 R's lowered to 100mm for £600 dead.

I don't understand why Fox mark up there prices so much, they could totally dominate the market if they just had reasonably priced products.. oh and a 180mm SC fork! :) I was going to get a set of these for the Absolut but £749!!

Its just a fork for gods sake.750 english pounds.@#$%^&*. I would love to see what that 750 pays for ie production costs, factory utility bills, expensive offices, managment luncheons, excessive expenses. Could be a good artical Dirt.
