Ouch, that is NICE !!

How do you like the rigid aspect? I found it refreshing although it's hard on your hands and back. It feels good though, you have a lot of control, no fork bobbing or twisting in the rough stuff. I'm a no maintenance kinda rider and was SS for years but out here I can't take all the steep hills on it (Ourimbah killed me first time I rode it), hurts way too much, hence my recent switch, and shifting problems.
