Not quite. Well, maybe, if you bought the forks brand new from OTR.de
I think my running total is currently about �1350 for the front end, and I've not sold any of the original bits yet, so the final score should be a bit less. That's using OTR yokes, but second hand forks, wheel, master cylinder, plus new disc, pads, brake hose, fork guards, etc.
I'd like to think my bike was worth more than �2700, although there's probably not that much in it after nearly thirty thousand miles of abuse.
Is it worth it? I'd hope so for me, but then I'm going racing on it. Trail riding only, I don't know if I'd have bothered.
