Hi, this is my first post here, so please bear with me. I was a pretty hardcore rider in my day, but have been out of mountain biking for about 10 years due to knee injuries, which have somewhat been resolved now. My current bike is a vintage '90 Merlin with a polymer based Manitou suspension fork. Great frame, but yes, the bike is dated. Anyway, the whole mtn bike world has changed while I have been gone, and I am trying to learn and catch up. Please advise me about rear suspension, i.e. what to look for in a bike for heavy-duty singletrack riding. I guess the term now would be all-mountain or backcountry. I was looking at the Kona Dawg Primo, Specialized Stumpjumper FSR and Enduro, and might check out some Cannondales too. Any other helpful input is welcomed also.
Thanks for your help,
Dave
