Wow, you do everything!

I haven't ridden the Fluid but I've heard that its a great bike. Speedgoat is going to start carrying them so,you could probably get a good deal on one. Also, have you thought about a Heckler? That also seems to be what you're looking for, except for the trials part-although, I'm not sure of any f.s. bikes that would do well in trials.

I ride an Ironhorse Hollowpoint with the new linkage design so I get 5 inches in the front and the back. Its designed for trail use, small drops and light downhill. Ha, not that I do any of that! But I'm getting there. Its soooo plush! The geometry is more typical than if you were to go with a Santa Cruz. Their geomtery is more upright. I'm only 5'4" so I went with a small frame -22"TT and 17" center to top so I sits kind of tall (not sure I really like that) but it does make it easier to clear logs.

Check out http://www.hcor.net/forum and ridemonkey for more info. about the bikes your interested in. Ridemonkey especially has alot of knowledgeable people there.

Good luck with your search!
Cheers,
Kristina
