I realize FS is not at all necessary for the road. I thought it would be good for poorly maintained trails. Trail riding will be its primaray use, but I will be riding on pavement when with my wife/family.
I guess what I'm asking is - is there ANY reason I should stay away from the FS? I'm willing to bust the budget, the FS weighs less than .5 lb more than the HT, and it has lockout. Any general opinions on either bike are welcome! It's a lot of dough either way, and I don't want to be wasting it.
Thanks again!
