Hi TigerMom, you're right, I wasn't clear in my post! I totally don't need a carbon frame, haha. Aluminum with current generation suspension would be just fine. I don't know all the technical terms but while I can add air to my rear shock, it doesn't have the technology that allows bumps to effect it from below but not bumps to effect it from above. So I'd like a more current generation suspension design, preferably with the lock out option. Thanks for pointing that out
