i am finding myself increasingly drawn to the old full suspension designs at the minute.

currently have a 92 proflex, simple elastomer back end and a flex stem up front, 95 proflex similar idea back end but coil and dampened shock, later proflex beast frame with ods shock (oil/elastomer) and a 99 specialized stumpjumper fsr.

i have an lts awaiting payment too

would love an earlier fsr, klein whatsitcalled, early cannondale, turner burner, muddy fox interreactive, verlichi/kona/iron horse, trek 9000... the list goes on

i think they represent a fast changing era of our recent history and i think the different aproaches are quite interesting

don't worry I haven't gone soft, I am still a hardtail guy at heart.

what are the landmark suspension bikes?
 
Santa Cruz Tazmon
Outland VPP
San Andreas
Formula One FS
Any of the Amp bikes- Fat SAB, Dean etc.

All ground breaking bikes
 
Verlicchi - the 1st DH Worlds winning full suspension. A downhillbike, but not a semi motorcycle, so suited for XC use.

Herbold's colourfull Elevation 12,000 :)
