I'm liking the Rocky over the Spark. 2 finished bikes at once ! Where do you find the time ? lol. Which is your favorite ?

I've had the Spark for a year now, never got around to posting it up here. Got the Rocky frameset a few weeks ago from BarneyBallBags and it's been ridden about 8 times - love it - pure hardtail flickability.

Have to say though, the Spark is amazing, for what it is and does - I'm definitely faster for it, but I still need my hardtail so I can remember how to ride for myself
