Is a fully a good choice? (back pains)

A Titus full susupension 29er....Wow! I'm jealous (but happy for you) even though I just bought the Santa Cruz Juliana.

Hopefully, this solves your problems. If not, don't forget to get a certified bike fitting.

I've heard so many good things about Titus, congratulations! It looks like you have some great places to ride as well, sweet!

Ooh, pretty--both the scenery and the bike. Congratulations!

BTW: It seems like the reason many people tell you to start out with a hardtail is 1) money (you don't necessarily want to sink a ton of money into something that may not stick); 2) you learn better bike-handling skills with a hardtail because you can't rely on the rear suspension. Also, here at least, you don't really need full suspension.

Gorgeous Titus! I am still missing my Racer X...

Thanks to all of you, I'm already in love with her

Owlie: Yeah the FS are very expensive, if you want a nice one I also believe that a hardtail will teach me more about mtb technique. I'm lucky to get this almost new bike for little money and take care of my back at the same time. I wouldn't spend 4-5K on a FS, because I'm a new to mtb.

The Rockstar is a "stiff" fully with 100 mm rear travel, so she is fairly "restrained" compared to other FS I wouldn't buy a bike with more suspension as a starter bike, that would be a dumb buy

I was overconfident (not intentionally) yesterday on a very steep sandy path and I was close to losing balance and end up in a ditch *LOL*. I braked in a sharp turn at high speed. It was a stupid decision. Ohhh, the joys of being a newbie But now I have already learned from this mistake until the next time haha.
