(yes with V-brake) and suddenly find plenty of suspension to choose for. Height and angle for my steering handlebar is quite the same (700c+rigid fork VS 26"+suspension fork Noleen Mega Air 75mm travel).

Monk wrote:My bike evoled agin. I took the Noleen off and put on the carbon fork. The Reynolds Ouzu Comp felt much better than the old fork that came with the frame. I also changed front tyre from 23 to 25 which had a huge effect on absorbing the shock. That's OK as I use it for daily commuting to work and back home.
It takes a bit of getting used to

Actually, it works GREAT with aerobars because it naturally pushes you forward a bit.

So if I use upright handle bar, the seat is not suitable?
The biggest loss is the balance you get from having a horn, you don't realize it until it's missing. I've adapted and had no problems. In fact, when I use a regular saddle I appreciate the extra balance and seating position. A regular saddle performs better.
