If you care about weight the Reba is much lighter.Ii had a few Recon Silvers around here and have a Recon Gold on one of my bikes now. On my forks I feel a difference in weight and peformance. I also rode a few Reba's for quite a while and they were rock solid and never needed service. Like 300hp said if you do have to service them it's not as easy.
It's not your strength or skill. It's your level of commitment.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I talked to my friend and he agreed to sell it to me and if I decided I didn't like it, he'd buy it back if I couldn't sell it elsewhere. I definitely owe him one.

That was more or less Louis's sentiment. The fork has only a few hundred miles on it, and it was never ridden very hard, so I'm thinking it will be fine for the time being. I'm also interested to see what the weight reduction feels like.

I should have the fork by the end of the week. I'm hoping to get it on the bike and take it for a spin this weekend.
