Having said that the Cannondale Silk Road bikes were pretty rad to ride, as was the cross bike they did with 50mm travel. A NOS one of those is like the holy grail. For me, anyhow.
Suspension on road bikes is kind of a dead concept now though - I expect because the materials have got so good that the frames have their own degree of flex where it's required, and the tyres have got much better...and bigger. Suspension is also a faff and I reckon 90% of fork owners have no idea how to set them up.
