you'd just have to tighten all 26 possible bolts before each ride and it'd be dialed. there's only 4 sizes of allen head there

whip out the wd40
that seems like overkill but it still looks nasty

I believe it is not intentional.

it is intentional. he uses the extra linkage and hardware to develop a suspension system that can use FSR design, but still have a low stand over and full length seat tube (great for a freeride bike), but why limit your DH RACE frame design to carry forth the same design as the other bikes. extra weight and material.

Def does not look pretty.
