Anyone have time on both? I've sort of had my heart set on finding a used 18-inch Jabber so I can get an SS back into the fleet. Can't find anyone with a disparaging remark about the geometry, and my wife certainly fell in love w/ her Bandersnatch with the first turn of the pedals. But I have trouble with the whole patience thing once I decide what I want, and I notice there are many more Monocog Flights out there than Jabbers, and for less money. It also seems like the geometry is very similar; as best as I can tell they've both got a 71/74 HT/ST. I know there's more to geometry than just the those two measurements, but do the two bikes handle similarly? It'd just be for SS duty; my other 29er (w/ 72/73 geo.) now sports an Alfine and I don't want to be swapping wheels, etc. FWIW, I'll probably try going rigid, but expect that I'll give up on that after a few months. I'm old, and it's really rocky here in northern NM. Thoughts? Thx,
- Joe
