hmm, action pictures will have to wait for sometime i guess, if you look closely at the pics of my viper, you would notice that i doesnt have a front caliper installed. while i have a caliper lying around, the manitou which is a new school fork, has got post mounts, which means the caliper mounting bolts goes in from behind ( er...no pun intended) where as on older forks the caliper mounting bolts goes in from the side.

this image will explain it perfectly, incidentally the post mounts pictured in this pic is that of a manitou.

so the problem is, my calipers are compatible wid IS mounts and not post mounts, so i have to fabricate an adapter, which i already have, but i messed up in a certain area, gotta get back to the drawing board !!!

my friend gets the parts for me from abroad.
the major difference between the rockshox dart and the manitou stance is that, the former is a cross country fork, its not designed to handle abuse. whereas the manitou stance is built for dirtjumping and stuff . my manitou costs 8 grands bcuz its a second hand fork, brand new, it would cost me much more. still i guess 9k for a rockshox dart is a bit on the heavy side...dunno..ummm..7 or 8 grands is okay i presume.

The "post mount" is pretty similar to "radial mount" brake of a motorbike.
