Before you weld on a hardtail..........I would replace the shocks with struts and see how "hateful" the ride becomes.
I really can't understand how anyone can ride a hardtail - yesterday I hit a bump in the road that threw me out of the seat on my BMW that has lots of suspension travel......I can't imagine doing that on a bike with a hardtail (I would have been launched over the handlebars).
