The short travel full suss bikes are alright but the hardtails are what I love.
Have started heading in something of a similar direction with my Cindercone so I can use it at the bmx track as the hire bikes are a bit shit (excuse the IGed iphone pic).
Really loving retro dual slalom/4x bikes just now,
