Vocabulary question: hardtail means no suspension whatsoever, right?
I love my old commutermobile yet it is really heavy. I've toyed with ideas that could make it lighter. The power train is all original (thanks Chris for replacing the brakes last time) and that'll go someday. Darn TE for teaching me a little maintenance so it's lasted about 12 years. If you gals weren't so smart it'd be worn out and I'd have new shifters .....
Is front suspension be lighter than an alloy fork? I think when the remodel expenses get paid off I'll look at the power train or ....
Of course I could make the engine lighterbuild up the upper body strength for lifting the bike
