Has anyone experienced with riding all mountain / aggressive XC (with jumps) ever made the transition from a full suspension bike to a steel hard tail and was happier? I previously owned a 2008 Iron Horse MKIII Trail bike and loved it, except for the fact it was one size too small. So, I sold it, but never managed to create the budget to get another one.
So, I'm considering buying a high quality light-weight steel framed Hard Tail frame or bike that works well with my 130mm 2008 Manitou Minute MRD Absolute fork (20mm thru-axle option). Do any of you experienced MTBR have any brand/model suggestions?
