- I recently purchased a Specialized M2. I decided to hold off on
- suspension because of some questions I have. First off, is there
- seems to be a couple of solutions for suspension that attempt to
- accomplish the same result; front-end, and handle bar. I know a
- lot of people riding fork suspension, they all say the same things,
- ie; it alters the frame geometry, it adds weight, there's maintenance,
- etc.... But they are still sold on the forks. Unfortunatley, no one
- I know has ridden handle bar suspension.
-
- I'm curious to know if anyone has tried riding handle bar suspension,
- and might be able to compare/contrast this with fork/frame solutions.
