There is a lot of yammering on this forum about ride quality, but when someone designs a bike that actually has a bump-absorbing feature -- i.e. something that works on a principle other than the placebo effect -- it's generally dismissed and ignored. See the Klein/Trek SPA and the Cannondale Headshok road bikes... also Softride...
