The GoBike on Grant's page has suspension. It also has a $1500 price tag.

There will be a weight penalty with any bike that has suspension. I saw this on the REI site. It looks like an effective town bike, but I wouldn't do anything resembling single-track or high mileage with low end components.

Have you considered cyclocross bikes? They are actually made for riding on changeable surfaces, but maintain a roadbike feel. If I could only have one bike I'd lean toward a cyclocross machine. Kona Jake
