If ya got a chance to see the area around "Bigolow Hollow" state park 
in CT you'll know what I mean. Monster Hills. I hit 48 mph on the 
Hybrid with 38C tires on the back side of one of the hills and thought 
I better hit the brakes! Don't even want to think of "what if..." ! 
AAAHhhhhhhh !!   ( Yes the computer is set accurate! )

Yeah thats my thinking for the next ride. I'll let ya know when the 
weather cooperates for a decent ride how I made out. 
As far as buying the bike without the suspension and adding it later, 
the only add-od fork suspension for the Road bike is the Ruby which 
will run me $399.00. Which is significantly more than getting it stock.
I figure if I'm gonna do it, might as well get it right off the top and 
not worry about later. Just gotta save my pennies!
