I shake my head at people who spend $$$ on full suspension machines. For the majority of off-road use, all you need is a well made bike with the right geometry and tubing, and good technique that includes using your body to absorb movement. This steel frame is so subtle and smooth I would never have a need for shocks. Then you add the simplicity of a fixed/ss hub and it completes the circle. I'm stoked.

And graci Halfbiked. That pic did come out nicely.
