Rigid frame for savage

Team,

does anyone on this forum know of any firm that sells rigid frames for the savage?  Or at least a rigid bolt/weld on hard tail?

Thanks

I think the rear suspension on my 1998 was a "rigid" from the factory Undecided

Feels that way at least... Smiley

Mine's not the only one, then! My 130lbs doesn't seem to activate any springiness whatsoever!

I beleive it has to do with the bike weight more than the rider. I strutted a softail frame and it rides pretty good. The bike weighs 500lbs.        Hutch
