Like you, I had to sell one due to lack of money, and it was the full sus that went.
"Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention"
I will though – the bb was higher on my full sus and I REALLY miss that ! When the ground was rock-hard, I missed it (well my back did) plus you can 'glide' over rutty stuff easier. You just ride things in a different way, a bit more sapping but I've ridden just as many hours in one stint as I did with the other bike so…do I miss it ? Yeah, but I 'think' I can live without it…..maybe…
