yes apologies.i should explain.i have a ht stumpjumper,that i do all my off road riding on (i ride around pewsey vale/the ridgeway.occasionally salisbury plain when it's open to the public) it's a great bike,but i was thinking about a full sus bike (the anthem x4).but have also been thinking about getting a road bike for winter/bad weather.long distance training e.t.c. for the riding that i do,although it would be great.truthfully i have no problems riding the ht. the titanium frame.well to be honest,have never ridden a titanium frame.always lusted after one. sorry to have gone on 🙂
