Hey guys, I've read around the thread and as the page 1 states that the fork is the most important part to see in buying a bike. After surveying around bike shops and bikes ranging from 2k - 3.2k, lot of the bikes have similar forks i.e suntour xcm/xcr rock shox xc 3 (can't find tora) with the price difference mainly due to groupset (9/10 speed) but similar/higher frame specs.

Is the best alternatives to buy the cheapest yet best looking for me and upgrading the fork later on or buy the more expensive ones with 10 speed groupset? Which cost/importance is the best?

Thanks to anyone who can help answering this. biggrin.gif
