Newbie frame question, SOHC vs. DOHC

[abitdifrent]

looking to hardtail an 81 dohc.  i see tons of hardtail kits for SOHC bikes but none for the DOHC models.  Are the frames drastically different and how so?  thanks!

Well you could go the simple way and get a set of struts to lock the back with. If you decide it is not for you, you just put the shocks back on.

To each his own I guess , but at this age I really LOVE springs . -- Kills the handling too .
