Looking for a good deal on a 80-100mm travel fork that is a little lighter than an entry level fork.

I have a Manitou Black Super Air, with the remote lock out. It's a 100mm fork, but disc only. $100?

I am currently looking for one with V-brake mounts, but I'd like to know more about this fork. What year is it and how much does it weigh? (how much use has it had?)

It's either a '05 or '06. The fork on my bike died, and I was sent this one as a replacement. That was the summer of '06. I don't ride as much as most people, so it has some use, but it's not used up by any means. I weighed it last week, and I think it was 3.75 lbs, but I can weigh it again tonight. It's an air + coil fork and the steer tube was cut, but I ride a large frame bike.

Just to throw in a hijack.

I have a '05 100mm V-brake bossed Manitou Skareb Super with remote lockout. It's been completely rebuilt and unused since the rebuild.
I believe it's 3.8 lbs? It's not a heavy fork anyways... Considered a XC race fork. The new Manitou R7 is what replaced the Skareb models.

If you say the right price I will buy it. I really like those skarebs!
