I've got a wonderful old Trek 970 that I've put more miles on than I can count. I'm getting older and have never ridden a bike with front suspension. Would it be worth it to go with a Rock Shox or whatever? I don't want to dump a load of cash into a fork, I ride about 30 miles a week off road, some weeks more, some less.
I guess I'm just curious as to how this would affect my ride, comfort etc. I know I'm being pretty vague but I've been out of the loop in bike tech for a long time, just started riding again, and see that almost every bike out there has some form of suspension. When I got this, rigid was the norm, now I don't think Trek even makes a steel bike anymore. Anyway. Any input would be appreciated.
