Trek 7000, Trek 7.2, Specialized Globe, Schwinn Voyageur, Giant Cypress ST. These are just some of the models out there that don't have front shocks.
Evan,
I was just pointing out the types of bikes you were talking about. By all means try out some road bikes. Your interest can change so quickly at a young age. You may go from riding on bike paths, to racing in junior road races in a couple of months. You just never know.
