That Honda MTB is nice. I still wish I had my old Cannondale 26" rigid frame. It took real thought to ride that. I had to compute the smoothest/fastest lines very quickly. I loved the challenge. I did hold up quite a few people, which is why I went with a hardtail. Now, I love my FS. I guess because I have yet to ride a really light HT on a trail, so I don't know what I am missing.
Ignorance can be bliss.
