Yes, I recommend this product.
Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight, Looks great
I recently bought these forks to replace some old ones. they are really sturdy and they just feel so right. You have massive tyre clearance for a 2.3 if you ever need to go that wide. And for the price, there's not no other forks that I would reccommend. They 're just a good all round pair of bmx forks.

what type is the fork, is it full carbon or with aluminium steerer?
This is a complete carbon fork, from the dropouts to steerer.
Hope this helps.

Size
Can you give me a rough idea of what rider height the 18.5" frame will fit? I know Trek require in-store sizing but I just want to get a rough idea of the size this remaining bike will fit.
The 18.5 is now literally discontinued, however the 2011's are still available. If you're between 5,8 and 5,10 then the 18.5 will be spot on.
Hope this helps.

Is this bike a street bmx and is it good and light for tricks like 180's etc?
This bike would be ideal for all types of riding. Its less than 25lbs so you could throw it around. Nice geometry with a fairly short back end.
Hope this helps

Are the bike's graphics stickers or is it painted on them? and is this a good brand and bike??
Yes you can whip the stickers off. United do some of the best complete set ups. Go for for it, its light, feel geometry, I would get one.

are the dropouts to big that if i grind will the dropout bend to the point i could not get the back wheel off ??
No they will be long enough and strong to run pegs. You wont have a problem with bending dropouts.

1, Can I fit this to my SP Rockhopper 08? 2, Does this come with bottom bracket and the other crank arm?
1, Can I fit this to my Specialized Rockhopper 08? 2, Does this come with bottom bracket and the other crank arm? 3, What is the best chain to buy if I also get the HG80 SLX Cassette? - thanks
Hello there, this will fit perfectly fine. I would probably go for an xt chain to with this. It would probably benefical for you to change the cassettes too so you're drivetrain is sound.

will the frame (raw) rust if i do nothing with the frame?
With input from the 3 Amigos of Fly Bikes (Perico/Mc.Gyver/Javier) and over a years worth of work put into it this is the finished product with the most up-to-date features. - The frame has been manufacture with an integrated gusset reducing weak spots around the head tube. - Integrated seat clamp that looks great saves weight and holds the post really well. Includes an integrated chain tensioner that is totally hidden and removable. - Integrated headset and Spanish BB. Removable Guiri tabs included. - Low chainstays allow 25/9 gearing to be run. - Relaxed seat tube angle makes tailwhips and no footer tricks easier. 71 degrees - 21 inch top tube. 14.25 inch rear end - Weight 5.39lbs
Is the frame at the front of the picture the orange one?
