Oh yes, I know this is your favorite debate in all of mountian bicycling. I thought it might be time to reintroduce this age old argument just to differentiate a modern perspective with the current technologies.
After all there is the tradional hardtail to be considered, the 29er version and the dual suspension energy efficient peddling powerhouse that everybody seems to have at their LBS. The question has three parts:
1) What are you riding and what was the main reasoning for your purchase?
2) Do you ride your preference, (what is it?) if not what are you considering?
3) What characteristics or traits to cross country riding do you view as your priorities in a new bicycle?
