It's strange.

We (me) bike weenies don't like strange things.

Also, I didn't realize it was a suspension seatpost. It just looked weird.

I'm not a fan. That's all. To each their own. Enjoy the ride.

Lol, ok well I'll see how it feels on the trail. The gary fisher I was riding has a suspension seat post and I didn't mind it. Also does anyone know what year hardrock comps came in white?

Dude, the tool sticker makes the bike you can tell everyone Maynard rode it before you, but he wouldn't have suspension post.

Nice bike and good price. Enjoy. Wish I was in FL, up here I rode the trails and kept falling due to the snirt and ice. Incindently, saltines are far and away my favorite cracker, either on their own or crumbled up in soup.

He probably would've swapped it to a rigid fixie and guinea pigged all the lines for the new Red Bull Rampage thats rumoured to happen. He would've cleared everything on a blind run.

Just went back to a little area next to my house, my cousin and I built a balance beam type thing with logs and two 2x4's we found. I'll get pic tomorrow. This bike handles well.
