Wanted: Rear Suspension Shock

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I don't know much about full suspensions bikes, but I picked up a frame
cheap and am working on a Frankenbike project.

I need a rear shock that will fit a 2002 Diamondback XSL. Not sure of the
overall shock length needed is, but this site states a 3.75" - 4.25" shock.
I assume that's travel, not the entire length.

The one measurement I do know about is the space available to mount the
shock. The frame and linkage measurements, inside edge to inside edge, is
28mm. I've seen posts with different widths, so I expect there are different
height bushings.

Anyway, can't spend much. Reply via e-mail if you've go something.

Thanks!
