Which boingy bike would you choose...?

[Motozulu]

Hello again all, not posted on here for a while but I need some advice and this was always a good place for that.
Have come into a little money recently, enough to be able to buy my dream bike, a full susser., .
Trouble is, I have no idea of which to go for. I have narrowed it down to 3 bikes (I am test riding the Chief at Ashton Court with Fin, the Rose bikes rep, on Tuesday) but can you good folk tell me which bike is the best deal? which has got the better boingy bits?.

Here's the bikes and thanks in advance!

I know sod all about anything this technical, but just on sheer looks, I love the Rose bike
Whatever you get I hope you enjoy it!

Funny aint it? one of my mates described the Chief as 'Fugly'

The Canyon. Just because I own a Canyon.

The Canyon looks amazing. I am not up with specs but based purely on looks the Canyon wins all day long.

I loved the rose and the radon. But of course I don't know anything either.

I'm not going to add anything constructive to this thread I'm afraid as I am not convinced that more than maybe 20% of full suss riders actually require full suss.

I have had a look at the 3 bikes linked to and now I feel a little queasy

I hope I have helped

The Rose is the bike I would take

Define "require"

Aaahh but as a fifty plus rider I am feeling the effects of my SS rigid and XC HT. Think my old bones need a bit of help - hence going full boingy.

Everyone 50+ requires a rigid SS, an XC HT and a boingy-boingy

I wish I knew what this meant.

If you don't understand, just nod and agree.

I suspect some irony and a bit of sneering but for the sake of goodwill, I'm nodding and agreeing.
