Well, via my knitting I've already seen the glory of wool. Between that, last night's urge to stretch out across my handlebars, and the scary thing that popped & bled in my 'special places' after last night's ride . . . I may not be hard to convert to all those things! Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Tabby:
Don't worry about it. Others have mentioned the relationship of frame geometry and material to the rider, but if you're looking into a bike with suspension, the suspension is usually adjusted to respond to your body weight, regardless whether you weigh 95 pounds or 295.
Swapped my old hardtail MTB for one of those full-suspension cross-country bikes this past weekend, and got quite a lesson in hydraulics before I left the LBS
