if u ride smoth on a dualy and asorb all/most of the shock when doing trix u should not really notice the sag that a ht dosent have. I think u should keep the dualy(or give it to me for free!) but if you do however get a ht i very much like the dmr rhythm as a sick street rig.

if you just want a throwaround bike i would say get a hardtail for the time being get your skills up on that then when you switch over to your dual later you will have all the experience on the hardtail to make you a better/smoother rider. btw what is the dual frame you have atm?

Knew you'd say that LEX. Yeah hardtail for freeride although I can say nothing has gone pearshaped with my Kona Coiler yet so the decision is yours..

i've got both, and i always take the hardtail... it means that because all the urban drops near me have flat landings the hardtail is easier

Hardtail. Though I'd like to point out... LEARN TO SPEAK/WRITE ENGLISH IN AN UNDERSTANDABLE FASHION. christ almighty.
And enough of the ()@#%*@#%@#%%@#@#!@@!!@!!?!?!?!?!?!?11111/???! please.

The Kona Stuff is an awesome choice for a street hardtail, as well as the P. Series... also the BSX series were a real suprise too.

i ride a duely, but you become so much smoother on a hardtail, which is why i want one.

Thats why I got one, and ain't changing. I will always have a HT, even if I get a duely, HT rocks :D

Don't be weak! ride the big bike :twisted:

But really, don't listen to anyone who says you need x-type of bike for y-type of riding - sometimes it helps, but its always easiest to just ride what you have! dually's could get squirrely with say skatepark riding, but for just running round the concrete jungle jumping off stuff- just ride a bike.

I challenge you to a duel!
Get a hardtail, you don't want to duel with a dual for street riding.
