I actually like the shock absorber seatpost! Our roads here in the NH mountains are rather rough. We have this affect called "frost heaves" which plague us over the winter and leave many cracks, dips, rises, etc., in the road. The worse time of year is Feb-Apr. But year round, unless the road has recently been repaved, there are unexpected bumps. Also, the C-Dale frame is very stiff, with hardly a trace of flex. Suspension is much appreciated!
