|   Which is Better? 22lb HT or 23lb FS Bike? | joe
Aug 28, 2001 7:51 PM | | I am trying to decide which would be better for general trail riding.
A 22 lb Hard tail or a 23 lb four bar link full suspension?
Should I buy the four bar if it is only $200 more?
Thanks for any info. |

Aug 28, 2001 9:41 PM | | For general XC trail riding - which would be better to invest in?
IF the FS was 23-24 lbs and only $2-300 more which would you guys get? |

Aug 29, 2001 1:56 AM | | You have to be more specific. You haven't given us enough information about the specific bikes or your riding style. For example, if the FS bike is flexy and fragile (you aren't looking at a closeout Amp B5 are you) and you are 6' 2" and 225 lbs and like to do 3' to 4' drops, it most likely will not be your best choice. If you are serious, give us a bit more info. |
