Rigid f/s?
I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard of running a "f/s" bike that isnt really a full suspension, in that it has a rigid front fork. I know it seems highly impractical, but people do weird things.

Why would they make a soft-tail with no front suspension, that seems really stupid to me, what gains would that offer? Convert, what did you send a picture of? Where is the suspension, i think i may be confused on the definition of a soft tail. I had meant are there any bikes with a rear shock with a non-suspension front fork.
