It's not that I'm lazy, I swear.....
Time is the biggest factor for me. When i recommend a bike to someone, it is usually a fellow dad who wants to get his family into the sport. I almost never recommend a full suspension. I have little time to maintain my bikes myself (with a basement shop!), so I dont expect some of my friends to magically have more time than me (esp. since they usually have more kids). We also no longer have a local shop to help....Plus a really good hardtail can be fast and fun!
Now if you'll excuse me while I fluff the pillow in my nap spot....
