I've got a strange question, but first a little intro... I'm intrigued by the concept of a hardtail freeride bike, so I thought I'd experiment a bit. I've got...
I have been asked recently, and I am curious -- are there any other women in the club who ride singlespeed? or considering trying it? Please respond off-list. ...

A longer fork is a longer lever pushing on the frame, (bad) but even with your old fork 2-3 ft. drops aren't what it was intended to be used on. With that in...
