ah, well as long as the seat is cushioned and doesn't hit your certain area too much, it shouldn't be a problem. main focus of those studies pointed out that a comfy saddle will be very beneficial to your guys down there. suspension just helps the cause.

Nice bike. I gotta get my Specialized Rockhopper out of the basement get it a tuneup and go riding. I don't use it as much as I should, but I enjoy myself every time I go riding. Definately gotta ge tthe baby seats..they love that stuff. Good to get them started being active early.

Would be hard to get good left, right separation from there. I'd say you'd have to build fiberglass extensions to the handle bars and mount mid and tweets there. Being that there would be no pathlength differences, should image pretty good
