My one bike is a Doctahawk. I ride it everywhere. Backcountry, crosscountry, park, whatever... Long rides, short rides, smooth trails, rough trails, flat trails, steep trails. I don't necessarily like it's steep seat tube nor it's slack head angle. Knee issues aren't so much a thing for me but fatigued arms at some point into a long as ride certainly is. Seat in the butt kinda weird but I usually bump it down a smidge before I stand. As for the slack, well, wheel flop is something I've learned to mitigate after getting tossed to the ground a few times. I dunno, it's just kinda my bike and my body is kinda used to it at this point. Funny enough, I was quite happy with slacker seat tubes and steeper head angles when I bought this bike and I still am. All that said, I love my Doc and riding it well is kind of transcendental.
