I wish.
Problem is the reason I ride a full suspension hybrid is because it doesn't take much of a bump to cause severe pain. I really wanted a Sirrus carbon but when I rode one, I deliberately hit a crack in the pavement.
BAM! I had severe pain for almost a week. No, there is no question but that I need a front suspension.
