That bike is ridiculous unless you are old or very heavy and literally cannot shift your weight on the bike. Go for bigger tyres before suspension if you're getting pinch-flats on bridleways.

Why is it ridiculous? Just a fugly tourer? Yes it is, but xt and deore for just over £500 with BM Dynamo lights. The bridle way I'm thinking is the Mary Townley Loop not a stone compacted NCN6 type one which I do on fixed 23mm tyres.
Sure it's got some unnecessary suspension but that won't do any harm in fact with some of the roads it might be kinder to my shagged left elbow. This is the functional thread after all.

At that price it'll do. Gives me options of some rough bridle ways as well.
