Ah, thank you; yes I think I recall seeing the photo back then. I liked the combination of sus sp (it was a CODA) and the Softride, circa 1990; very plush, like being suspended on bungies; really took the edge of washboard-type bumps. But the then-just-appeared CODA would creak and allow the saddle to move laterally in a small arc, so I returned it. I daresay that the added travel and better movement control of a Thudbuster would have made the ride even more cushy.
