Anyone ever built a road bike like this?
First off, let me just say that I'm new to biking, so this may be a totally impractical idea. I'm a long-time car enthusiast, so the mechanical aspects of a bike make perfect sense to me. However, it's the application of these aspects that I'm still learning about. Anyways, has anyone ever seen/built a road bike with full suspension, disc brakes, and maybe a steering stabilizer? The suspension would need to be stiffer than a MTB setup, and not need nearly as much travel, maybe just an inch or two. I think with disc brakes you could get away with a lighter rim with less rotating mass, since the braking surface wouldn't be needed. The steering stabilizer may not be needed either, but I was thinking it might help with endurance, or on high speed downhill runs. I know there are hybrid bikes that are sort of like this, but I'm thinking of something that's still not really meant to go offroad, and would still have drop bars, etc. Is this a crazy idea?
