All my bikes are rigid so fancied a dable with some suspension forks.
For the 90s fork it doesn´t matter if you go rigid or put a suspension good or bad. They performance is poor until the arrival of the Bombers.
I have one Match 5 because I like how it looks and that is all. The manitous and Judys looks quite nice, but RSTs 351, 481 etc ... I would go rigid.

Not fussed on performance just what were the nuts 25 years ago
Yeah sorry, i was just messing when i said P2's, thought you meant suss.
I dont think period forks are bad, as long as you bear in mind their short travel, that is obviously only and issue for some now as newer longer travel has taken over, at the time they were great, nothing has changed, unless the elastomers have gone hard

Bombers were 97 onwards.
