rigid....again?????

I am at the crossroads again.



I still have a yet to be determined release date from doc johnson on when I can actually pedal a bike again.....he said "might be a week, might be a month."

In anticipation of that loosely worded promise from him, I have been giving alot of thought to how the new whip will be set up.


My last foray into the single speed (ss) big wheel (29'er) world WAS fully rigid. The obvious benefit to that set up was climbing efficiency. Problem is/was a few things.



1. There ain't alot of sustained climbing around here.

2. I don't plan on racing so who cares about efficiency.

3. I'm 40 and it might be time to think about comfort over speed.

4. I suck at climbing....but I can catch on descents.

5. To me, front suspension isn't near as critical as rear suspension to my
achey breaky back and constant ass pounding.

SO what to do????

1. 1. 29'er wheels have built in suspension due to the large volume tires..right? That should make it feel as if some suspension were present....



2. Slap a thud buster seatpost on....eehhh.....nevermind.



3. Quit being a pussy and deal with it.



4. Buy a new frame...yeah....a TITANIUM FRAME.....YEAH....cuz ti rides like a shimmed, velvet lined cooter......



5. Fuck it.....i'm gettin a new frame......anybody want a deal on an 07 vassago jabberwocky, 16" with a custom black powdercoat job????
