The front forks are rock show reba, I wouldn't be without them. Ive had them since bike was new, about a year, along with body float, its a cushy riding bike. The "orphaned" 26" wheel makes forks a buyers market, many dealers are stuck with them, because the real mountain biker has moved on to 29er, and wouldn't be caught dead riding around on the 26" skateboard wheel.
Racktime: You can buy their baskets, etc with bracket installed or just buy bracket and make whatever you want and click it in.
