Wow, this is a very interesting thread to me. I ride a 24-25 lb. Titus Racer X I bought used last year. I weigh 103 lbs. or so. I LOVE the bike and find it super comfy to ride compared to a hardtail, and way easier to get up the hills than my entry-level hardtail which weighs 32 lbs. HOWEVER, I have a really difficult time on single track, as even with new knobby tires, I feel like I am sliding all over the place. I attributed my problems to my newbieness to the mtb world & just general lack of skills riding the trails. I never thought about it having anything to do with the light weight of the bike and my own light weight. Is it so? Would I do better in rooty singletrack with switchbacks on my heavier hardtail? Liquidfeet, you really got me thinking here....

Thanks!
