Sorta like when street riding a full suspension mountain bike. I also like to ride my bike when just out for a solo ride and just want to enjoy riding as I can ride all day long without pain. It is my bike of choice when my wife rides a regular road bike as we are better matched for speed and distance w/that combination. It is a very sweet ride and I get alot of attention. Even motorist give me a wider birth. I think it is safer as motorist slow down to see what I am riding.

Well, since no one has replied to this thread in 6 months, I hardly think you highjacked it
. As for the high pressure tires and tubes, that was an easy modification. We have trail tires on them, because the park we live near has tons of single track, and we go off road. But mostly I'm on the pavement, and the high pressure is nicer. As far as the shock goes, we measured the Fox Float on my mountain bike, and saw that that it would fit the Revive. So we got two, one one ebay, and one at our LBS. The only thing my husband was worried about were the bushings, because the shocks didn't come with them. Amazingly enough, the bushings that came with the original shock are perfect for the Fox Float. Right now we are on the search for front suspesion. We've only found 2 forks, White Bros. ($700
) and Meks which are about $200. We haven't gotten our hands on the Meks yet, they're really hard to find.....
