Maybe most places have better, smoother roads than I do here in Southern CO. but I don't feel the 80mm suspension fork is hinderance but I'm just a utility/rec rider at the moment that is thinking of "starting" to do overnight/weekend road tours, then one day build up to multi-day tours. I'd appreciate being, "enlightend" on the fork issue, thanks!
Some of the "dislike" might be related to the average speed. If your average speed is on the low side, it probably doesn't matter. If your riding technique is good, suspension just isn't
necessary for road riding but is it
still expensive and heavy.
There isn't any reason that what you have would not work for what you are planning to do.
