There's nothing wrong with a sprung saddle on a road bike. So long as you don't care about loss of pedaling efficiency incurred from using springs (which is the only reason sprung saddles don't show up on road bikes, because they're supposed to be sporty).

But of course if you're using anything with low handlebars, you'll want a longer narrower saddle. A wide saddle is only comfortable with upright riding positions.
