Latest addition to my bike, (rapidly becoming entirely comprised of diy adapters and brackets) - a coil shock on my Girvin Vector 1. Trouble is, it is a 650LBS/in coil over shock, (originally a rear shock on a cheap FS bike).
Anyone got a 350LBS/in to 450LBS/in coil shock in the UK they wanna swap for my 650 or will let go for a few pennies. This is a temp solution till I can afford a Risse Genesis. I live in Brighton, East Sussex.

Are you after just a coil spring
or a complete shock with a lighter spring,I'm not far from you (Hampshire) and I have a NB175-500 spring off an Nr4 abit stiffer than you want but you can have it if its of any use to you.

junkster,
I happen to have a brand new, never used, never mounted almost 2 year old Risse Genesis that I had made for a carbon xlink fork. I ended up going with a fox talas fork and sold the xlink with the smart shock, but still have a genesis.
Make me an offer, dude! I guess "dude" is a stupid work, but make me an offer anyway.

Hi Simon,
thanks for your reply. I was just after a coil shock 4" long - u know those cheapy standard stock rear shock coils you get on cheap fs bikes. Purely a temp solution. Check out my gallery.
Will see what Dennis says about the Risse Genesis he has on offer.
cheers,
Dan
