Not my cup of tea (I like the BitterEndChoppers frame and the LC Fab hardtail) but I know someone will like it.

I likey. I have never ridden a hard tail though so would be a little apprehensive. My back and kidneys aint the best anymore.

I need to have a bit more discretionary income to have a dedicated bar hopper in the stable. Of course, I almost never go to bars so what's the point?

I have been wanting to do one too but just don't have the money. Hermy has been talking about doing one too.

I have several hardtails. Spring mounted seats make riding them kinda cool. Dropping the rear tire pressure is a must, but the big bumps will still launch you.

No hard tails for me but i would like to build a chopper/bobber one day
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Is there a better looking power plant than the Triumph Twin in any setting? I didn't think so !

Like John said,"discretionary income." That's the problem. There is none round here. If I had it I would do it in a heartbeat. The thing is, they start at 850. That prolly gets you the same zero stretch, zero rake that paughco makes for the sporty. Which is cool but my "cool" is probably 1200 cool.
The other sledge hammer to the head is this. You are looking at...
new front end, tire, rim, bars, risers, hand controls,cables, brake line, wiring, foot controls, seat, head light, tank, front fender(if youre into that sort of thing), rear fender, struts, chain, rear tire, tail light, rear rim, and a bunch of other stuff that I'm too buzzed to think of, did I say bars?, yes I did. So add all that up and you just bought a new bike. But like I said, if I had it I would do it. Go Hardtail
