I remember seeing a pic of Steve Bauer with Rockshox fitted for Paris Roubaix and the bike also had a VERY slack seat tube angle so the rider was almost sitting behind the rear hub. It looked really weird - or is my memory playing tricks on me?
 
Hi folks, I will be listing a Ridgeback Genesis fitted with a pair of NEW Rock Shox Ruby SL forks. Listing goes live tonight at 10pm. Item number will be 260202487150

I remember he was testing some weird design that had very slack angles and put the saddle way behind the BB. The designer reckoned it made for more efficient pedalling. I don't remember Steve doing much with it though. I'm sure there was a feature on it in some magazine at the time.

I'm also sure that Steve Douce used Rockshox for cyclo cross at one time.
 
Here's my Trek 2100 (1994) with the ROCK SHOX "Paris-Roubaix" suspension road fork.
