My first bike has a suspension fork, and I ride it year-round. I make sure to wipe it down after every ride, including cleaning and lubricating the chain. It takes about 5-10 minutes, and nothing rusts.
My second bike has a rigid front fork... and I can safely say it will be the last bike I ever get without front shocks. I miss them terribly. My arms and upper body chatter like mad on the broken pavement in the city and I cringe over every curb and trail transition.
I bought (1) Thudbuster LT seatpost and was swapping it from bike-to-bike, but in the summer I ride both nearly equally so decided to just buy a second one. Zero regrets there, highly recommended.
