> i thought bout a road bike, but i have a feeling ill end up going a little too fast on it, and theres something i dont trust about 1/4" wide tires

I don’t go fast enough on my mountain. The front suspension take all the ass out of my pedaling efforts and I can’t lock out my front fork. Plus the tires are just too big lol. It’s great on the trails though.
