My Genesis Fortitude SS is fun but I'm glad I've got a FS as well as it's pretty brutal on the wrists (although Ergon grips are helping) and not nearly as much fun on technical stuff as a FS (it's more a case of surviving rather than enjoying rocky/rooty stuff).
Khani, much much betterer.
Have you ridden it yet ?
Now, just get shot of those daft uppy-downy fork things & jobs a good un'
Cheers 😀 only an up'n'down the road test, it feels ok but some hills will be the tester to see if my knees survive,. It's loads lighter though. As am I as I've recently lost a stone through cutting out the booze and crap....
As for rigid..nooooo, I like my squishy thingys, and they lock out if needed
M'old.... 😉
Holy thread resurrection Batman...

Edit..And thanks to Vortexracing for an easy painless classifieds transaction..
SS pain is just common sense leaving the body.
Please make the pain stop...
Quit whining or take up golf.

Really enjoying this. More now I have silly wide bars on.
I moved from a 26in then 69er rigid Inbred SS and it's definitely different. It's much smoother and has definite zip once the wheels are turning; the trade-off is less chuckability and playfulness but I'm getting this back as I get used to riding it.

Of course it still doesn't have to be steel.....Scandal rides very well too.

Gratuitous pic fest erupts!
Anyway scandium (with carbon seatstays) is the new steel. Except of course, being elements, they existed before steel.
