Thanks for the replies, I absolutely love the feedback. I leaning towards finding a suspension fork for my ICT – I know it can fit a bluto, wondering about a Mastodon?
Also I will be trying to find someone with a similar setup, as that would be ideal, so my search begins.
I have began doing some research into the full suspension bikes mentioned by Bike Nerd and I’ll see where that takes me.
Lastly, thanks to the help here I will be not pursuing an older model bike for the reasons mentioned above.
As always thanks for all the wonderful feedback.
