I'm from the school of "if one is good for you, two has got to be better."
I would match that frame with a platform shock, and be one of the nameless rabble in the evolution of suspension, that they are trying to leave behind.
me too i like
the gt design but specy seams match better my needs.

But then, as an ex roadie, you might prefer something like the Epic or the Scott.
Kinda depends on what kind of trails you're gonna be riding too.
actually i'm focusing on stumpj better than the epic 'couse of my 90 kg to take care... don't want epic frame broke under my kilos
what about the shocks... fox or specy home made? does latest brain sistem works good?
