Rocky
- Mimio0
Get the Rocky Mountain. Forget that flexi swing arm bullshit frame.
- Jaline0
the pink one for its colour. the 'orange' one for its look.
- Mimio0
You're still undecided after riding them?
- CaP0
i'd say try them, plus, consider what do you want the bike for... if it's only (or mainly) downhill riding, go for the orange. if it's more of a cross country ride and downhill, i'd go for rockty.
imo.

I would stay away from front and rear suspension unless you:
ride downhill exclusively
-or-
miss your boyhood 'pogostick'
They look nice but no one has really engineered a shock system that doesn't ruin the mechanics of a bicycle.
- Mimio0
They'll cool if you live someplace where you can do some real downhill riding.

Are you crazy man?
There are tonnes of killer dual suspensions out there.
What are these mechanics you speak of?
- sherman0
I agree if you are using it for commuting maybe get a front suspension. If you are doing any trail riding a nice small travel dually can really improve your ride and make it more comfortable.

Still at it stimuli?
Figured all the Canadians would say Rocky! You can probably get a better deal on an Orange in Scotland though...You should look at the Kona's, great, tough (Canadian) bikes, but a little less spendy.
Here's my rig...ride up and ride down:

Ummm.....OK. There's been MAJOR suspension advances, patents, and full suspension bikes even pedal these days...this isn't 1990.

Ok, this one has no suspension and it's my new project bike. I give you the vintage 1968 Scwhinn Stingray Fastback:
