Thanks! That is good to know. The guy at the LBS was trying to tell me that I should buy a carbon fork for commuting, even though they cost a lot more, because they provide coushin when you don't have a front suspension. This put me off because I was thinking about buying a Sojourn. The Sojourn looks fantastic, and it comes with what looks like a decent set of components. I think it would look increadible with some of those old fashioned panniers from wallbike.com.
