pretty much, there's a lots to compensate the stiffness of the bike, such as low flange hub with shallow rims, moustache bar to absord the shock, a good choice of saddle, bigger tyres says, 25c, 28c etc. it's not much but it's a good start.
if you're riding with track drop, 23c tyres, track saddle, etc. then you'll be sorer enough to wish you commit a crime, went to prison and got buggered six way from Sunday.
