hardtails don't cost too much. my Flow cost £600 and thaty includes an upgrade to Hope 4pots. and there are cheaper HT's around that are just as good. _________________ |

Currently finding it wierd having to switch between the two bikes (full suss and ht). Was first going to build a 'one bike does all' but just though it'd be easier to have two bikes.
Hadn't ridden an ht for about 8 years.... _________________

Now the full susser seems wierd to ride which is a bit worrying. Didn't take too long to get used to the STP but it's the switching back that I'm finding hard.
Ht is soo nice and flicky though, reckon I'll be riding it alot this summer Haven't tried any propper dirt jumps with it yet though. _________________

Don't think i could ever ride a HT and full-sus simultaniously... they're so different... totally different ways of riding and technique...Took me a good month to get used to riding full-sus for the first time
(infact i don't know if i'd ever want to ride a HT again now).. which is annoying, as i'd like to sell my Patriot and then build up a proper fun bike, like a le toy or something... but i don't reckon i could ride HT now, and then i don't reckon i could afford to build up another full-sus!
