See bit "special" roadbikes of Steve Peat (DH world champion) and Paul Turner (ex Rock Shox, now Maverickbike.com ):

The Maverick bike is actually pretty cool lookin IMO (maybe because of the Campa shifter) even if the whole concept is not making any sense to me. I'm thinking between :thumbsup: and :cryin:

...were used in Paris-Roubaix in the early 1990s; there were some other brands as well that tried suspension to smooth out the cobbles. Photo below is of Andrei Tchmil at P-R in 1994 riding with a suspension fork.
