Eastern NC had a lot of soft rides at one time; now it's a Cervelo flea market.
Seems so. From 17 hours ago:

Here’s your chance to own a one of a kind bike. A head turner for sure. A rare find, the only place you will find a softride these days is eBay if you’re lucky. This unique bike gives you the strengths of a road bike combined with a one of a kind suspension system. These bikes in their prime were called speed bikes, because of their ability to give riders an edge over other bikes. So much so that some riding associations banned them in Europe. The beam that supports the seat is made carbon fiber. Some people sell that part alone for 200 on eBay. The bike runs great for its age. A few upgrades. In no rush to sell. I will keep riding it here and there."

(I'm sure the new owner will "keep riding it here and there", for quite some time...)
