It actually rides decently, there is a lot of sag in the back end so I need to set up the shock correctly. The only real problems with it is because it's full suspension, you cannot run single speed without a dérailleur to take up the tension and of course I have a coaster brake on it so it doesn't work well. I have since fixed this by adding a front brake, and it has an incredible (un-nerving at first, but fun when you get used to it) amount of brake dive as the rear end unweights itself because of the braking force. The other problem is just getting used to the chicago'd handling.
