December 6th, 2008Does anyone make a fully rigid frame mountain bike anymore?
hoot asked:
I have had 3 rigid frame cannondale's and loved them....all sold now. My favorite was a killer-v....awesome bike. I am riding a Trek 3900 with front suspension - but would love to get a full rigid frame. Any suggestions of who might make a frame like this now-a-days?

Surly (www.surlybikes.com) makes a few MTB frames. They have a single speed with a rigid fork, a 29′r with a rigid fork, and a very solid “Instigator” which comes without a fork, but they sell a matching one seperatly.
You can always replace your fork with a rigid one bought seperatley.

I’d suggest just replacing fork you have with a rigid fork. I’d be a lot cheaper than buying a new bike.

Several manufacturer’s still make them.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. The closest things to completely rigid nearby for me are hardtails, and you need to spend some extra money just to get a decent fork (600 might get you a Rock Shox Dart 2).
