I'm considering selling my old Prince Albert and getting a full suspension bike again, are these any good?

Do they use a similar system to the Trance models ie the Maestro suspension system?

No, they use a single pivot linkage set up, similar to a Kona or Trek, NOT the Maestro system.

I'll be honest, we sell them, and they aren't really very good compared to a Trance. They're heavy and you can see where the money has been saved.

You'd be better spending £100 more on a Trance X5, which is a really wonderful bike, or if you've found a deal on a Yukon you'd probably be better buying a Trance frame with the money and moving your old bits over.

Thanks for the info Rolf, I'll stick at looking at the Trance then.
