Since i've actually ridden a full suspension bike to get from A to B, i can tell you i miss that front fork, and sometimes the rear suspension as well. I do not miss the way the suspension ate up pedaling effort and added weight. On the bike i had after those two (same model x2) was a fully rigid frame. It was a 21 speed vs a 15 speed. I could go faster, but ouch some of those bumps were brutal at speed. Then with my cruiser i had the suspension seat & big cushy tires, so some of the harder bumps had their edge taken off, but nothing like the front fork. I also had to stick to pavement now & it was a lil slower due to the reduced gear ratios.

I have what i have now because my needs have evolved, but oh boy do i wish it had a lockout front suspension....
