I am really looking for a duel suspension because I bent the back rim of my old hardtail from stair jumps. (i usualy ride street after the trails)

so far this is my first choice: http://www.rei.com/product/745682

Take a look at the GF Biggn's you could spring the extra $60 on the Mullet(but itll probably be on sale) cause thats basically what its made for...Trails and jumps...and even if it were to break GF will replace it easily...but its just what i would do...

PS i wouldnt trust a FS for that cheap...again its not my money...so do whatever you want...you seeked advice and i gave it...

You will get more fun out of a HardTail then out of Dual Suspension for that price.

A HardTail will offer you a better ride.

I'd prefer a bike where my front and rear suspension are not dueling with each other.

What's wrong with a good duel?:eek:
