Quite agree which is why I ride the 456 as much as I can it will handle all but the biggest nastiest DH's as well as general 'riding' To be honest if I could only have one bike it would be the 456.

This thread started ok & then turned into the usual boswollox that most threads do.Who cares about weights,travel,seat up/down etc etc etc....
As long as you're all enjoying your riding then who cares.....

X BIKE IS TOO MUCH FOR X TRAIL....ETC
I sort of agree with that in some situations, if only because too much travel can render a given trail dull. Similarly too little travel can be a chore. Good thing the bike police don't have powers of arrest.

I ride a hardtail during the week on my local natural trails. At the weekend it's out with my 7 year old Juliana with 10c.m. of travel, which I love.
I really don't care that I don't have the bling or new bike it's all about the fun.
However after riding down Pecket well a few months ago, I really would have enjoyed it more with the saddle down.

Sax quite rightly mentions body position and seems to be the only person on this thread that 'gets it'. Just take a look at this picture of Steve Peat and think about it.

Jeeeeeeez, when you have your saddle up you cant be in that position, because your saddle would be hammering your sternum.

Our best local technical rider( and he is very ,very good) doesn't fanny about dropping and raising his saddle(in this country),but if folk want to to do it,carry on.

Back on topic; yes, some have gone soft and look for any excuse - bike too heavy, saddle to high etc.
