Yeah, I guess that's the general direction you want to go, but suspension is really overdone on a lot of bikes. I'd say it will work about right for an older 2.5" travelnsuspension, but some of these goofy 4" jobs, I dunno.
At any rate, the 700c fork will move it the right way, and even if it lowers the front, that's probably fine for road use
