For my mountain biking, there is no replacing my full suspension mtn bike. Period.
That's ok though. I have my Riv for my casual riding on roads and light trails and my specialized rockhopper for taking the real abuse. In other words, don't force something to be something it's not. Let Riv be Riv. If you're riding requires some sort of suspension, there are so many good options out there already.
