Aaaahh, ya bastard, where's the mind-bleach?
Rob, a guy I used to work with had built a hardtail bike then he told me on the first long run with it he went down to a bike thing in Engerland. Let's just say all the way there and all the way back without suspension didn't do much for his arse-cheeks complexion. He showed me, ooher missus, the scars to prove it, not a pretty sight to behold.
