Retro short travel full suspension frames that worked .....

[letmetalktomark]

I have an inkling for a full suspension retro ride.

RTS springs to mind and I did enjoy the Team/RTS1 I owned for a while.

What can others suggest that worked?

Preferences go to those that use a conventional shock set up i.e. not like the RTS with its long push rod set up.

I like teh idea of an AMP but fear I am too heavy

Cheers,

proflex

not much travel but super stiff back end

+1 on the RTS Team. I had one when they were new and remember liking it.

Amps are functionally great if not a little under built and flexy.

Mantis Pro Floaters if you can find one.

Mountain Cycle San An! Or GT LTS.

And early Santa Cruz and Turners, lurking at the retro threshold.

light
well designed
proven race winning pedigree
cool looks

another +1 for Proflex all the above and they're pretty cheap. Shocks can be hard to come by though.

Can't go wrong with a sannie IMHO.

Suspension that works, bulletproof design and discs. Perfect.
