And another one for saying "ditch the suspension" if simply bimbling about on tarmac or gravel trails.
At that sort of price point, front suspension is more of a hindrance than a help, mainly because it's cheap, heavy and not terribly effective. You'll get a much better ride quality from fitting the right kind of tyres (a nice, wide commuter semi-slick like a Schwalbe Road Cruiser, for instance) and won't be wasting effort trying to counteract a vague and pogoing front end. And you'll get far better bang-for-buck as well.
Suspension tends to be fitted to affordable bikes because it looks cool, not because it's effective. Triumph of marketing, really...
A good number of us on here ride gravel trails and even some fairly gnarly stuff on old-style steel mountain bikes with rigid front forks and fat, squishy tyres with the right pressure for the terrain in hand.
It's the old "not what you got, but how you use it" kind of thing.
