Hardtails

Now, I know everyone loves full-suspension, but I myself am a true hardtail fan. I admit, i am not tough enough to go totally rigid, but i do like to feel the bumps underneath my feet. I also realize that there is already a "Post your rigs" thread, but I decided I wanted a picture of a more specific kind. Who out there rides a hardtail...and give a picture. Once I get my lazy butt up from the computer, i too will post a picture, but for now...show off your ride!

-Paige

P.S.--does anybody else ride a Marin B-17?

Sorry to disappoint you but I daydream about a full susser freeride bike.

I still love my hardtail though, great ride, especially after I get a new wheelset and shifters and have my front Avid Juicy 5 installed.

I don't ride a B-17, but I do ride a Marin. It's an '04 Pine Mountain. Steel, 'cause I heard it's "real." XT drivetrain, Truvativ bar and cranks, Thomson post and stem, Manitou Skareb Elite fork.
