I come from a MTB background, so I love suspension. My favorite bike is the full suspension ( XFS ), however this year I decided to ride a Dyan ( 24" wheel ) rigid model. I am 6' 205lbs so I normally stay away from rigid folders. However, I've been riding the Dyan for nearly a year, and it has been comfortable. I keep the tires at 25psi to soften the ride, but this bike is awesome. I take my baby on the back rack when she is tired of cycling. The gears are awesome....non cheap stuff here. The additional height of the wheels lets me ride in flooded roads on Hatteras. Additionally I have learned to stand while cycling which has aligned my right hip.

Overall, I am surprised that I like this bike so much. I expect to swap between the XFS and Dyan for years ( no lightweight Nova bikes for me ).
