i have a 05 ridgeback.
my personal opinion is the front tire is skinny on both models which to me upsets the ride on some large bumps .
my rigid is pretty nice. on the rear suspension.
if your not gonna ride alot of miles i would get the rigid, and use the savings in cost for accessories
but, then again, if there is the chance you might want to take an around the country adventure tour it would be damn nice too have the rear suspension. as i have always said, it is better to have and not need than to need and not have. :2thumbs:
