how do you like this as kind of a hard-tail lite? I've toyed with the idea of either throwing the Grit fork on my flaanimal or someday buying the Seigla and running it flat bar.

I've never had a bike with a 'normal' suspension fork so hard to say, it's....fine? I do like the forks, though I would struggle to justify paying full price for one, I am the third owner of this particular bit of kit, would probably just have ended up with nice big tyres otherwise
