A friend of mine got a v-braked carbon fork version of this bike a few years ago and its a good bike that will give good service for years.

Ps re the rear "suspension", with weight on the bike I guess it depends on the weight of the rider in terms of how much this presumable rubber or spring thing gets compressed. It says up to 20mm of "travel", who knows how it feels riding with weight.
Im light, under 70kg but I wonder about an additional 15kg or so bouncing up and down on the back! The FX is a nice looking bike but might be a bit uncomfortable on long days on gravel etc.
