Yes fork suspension still works. The frame cleaned up beautifully, titanium bead blasted matt finish.
The chainset, cassette, gear shifters will be straightforward enough to replace, I’m still contemplating whether this 29er should become a gravel frankenbike, I was never a hardcore mountain biker. All I need are some off road trails in the Essex/Hertfordshire lanes.. and a pair of 29 x 2.0 gravel tires. If that works then I may replace full suspension for CX forks / disk brake and leave this thread to the true MTBers on the forum

Looks like it's from the era of 70 deg and-the-rest head angles so probably better to retire it to Frankenbike duties.

Thoroughly recommend Vittoria Mezcal tyre for winter gravel duties.
Got some a few weeks ago and I’m very happy with their performanceGood amount of central tread for hard pack/tarmac rolling and good amount of nobbly tread and shoulder grip for when things get muddier.

Does the fork work?
