I'd be interested as to why they say you need new front forks

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

I was thinking exactly the same, seems a bit drastic unless they've had a knock or are  pitted.

I third what Kozmic and Dazza have said, at worst you have pitted tubes and or the bushes and seals need replacing.

Its could be entirely possible that the shop in question is talking bollox, so can you tell us what exactly the shop said and can you post some full shots of the top and bottoms of the forks.
