Not sure if serious or not, but...

Freds that haven't ever ridden a bike off road should not be so judgmental. I had to fix that for you, regardless if it was done on purpose or not.

I have had a few full suspension mountain bikes, not the garbage from Wal-Mart, but legitimate full suspension bikes. Some terrain does call for this type of setup. The bike that Scrod posted, well I am not sure what that is. The components looks pretty good from what I can see with the Fox shocks, Mavic wheels, Easton post, XTR rear derailleur, etc. It looks horrific, but at least it has decent stuff on it.
