I just noticed for the first time that the front suspenstion and the no suspension are completely different frames. It would seem that the FS would take a front derailer much easier.
Can anybody comment on the differences in the frames? Is one lighter weight than the other.
If I switched to a ridged fork would that create too much ground clearance issues with the pedals?
How would lowering the front end affect the riding quality as the seat angle would change.
The price would be about the same to get a FS and an aftermarket ridged fork vs no suspension.
