Yes Chris. Two polar extremes... full bounce with discs, gears, etc. Rigid with three gears (sit, stand, push) and one brake.

Although on the brakes, I have a cunning plan... I'm intending only to have a front brake, but to have two levers, either of which can activate the brake (good for a commuting bike, so I can take either hand off the bar and still brake). Something that can't be done with cable brakes...
