I've been thinking about it and I actually like the rear suspension. I lift heavy weights 5 days a week and I always dread doing any considerable cardio or pushing it on legs day. With the rear suspension on my bike I've noticed my legs/calves have grown and I've gone from 2 loops on my belt to 3 (lost weight). Another issue I've seen is my wrist kill me when I drive the bike over 10 miles. Looking online I found what I needed, handlebar extenders. I should have those installed tomorrow and probably going to get some handlebar tape shortly after so that it looks like 1 piece.
