very retrooo
6 inches front and rear. forks are manitou x-vert carbons with carbon legs and oil bath damping.
it's got loads of retro kit like cook brothers cranks, michelin wildgripper DH's, ringle pedals.

yeah just the same. still has a coil spring and oil damping and loads of adjustment and stuff. it's on ebay just in case you're interested!
well this is what ancillotti reckon
"Pull rather than Push a rather simple but important concept.
The starting point is the premise that Pull or Push are not at all the same, indeed, for certain applications it is just not possible to use the Push system.
Just consider that it would be practically impossible to construct a no-Pull parachute
You would be surprised if you saw a car that pushed a trailer or caravan instead of pulling it.
Why do you think all the long modern bridges subjected to strong winds etc, are suspended by cables, that is to say they are Pull, and not based on arches, a Push system?
The weight of the structure and the vehicles that travel on it, centers and equalizes with respect to lateral forces thanks to being suspended by cables, something that would not happen with a Push system arch.
This holds true for the rear swing arm of your motorcycle or bicycle.
In travel, lateral forces that act on the swing arm are already very strong, in addition it also has to bear the charging of the suspension system, this cannot but influence strongly the directional alignment of the rear wheel attached to it.
In the final analysis, the suspension loading system applied to the swing arm translates into a better or worse alignment and directional stability of the rear wheels.
If the force of the suspension system is applied with the Pull System the swing arm will automatically tend to stabilize and self center. Moreover, the size of the pull rod with respect to the rafter can be reduced, with functional benefits for the lesser weight of the mass not suspended.
On the contrary the Push system tends to develop bending and flexing in the lateral parts and needs a heavier push rod to try to counteract these inevitable effects.
Successively, in the following 25 years this Pull Shock system has progressively been adopted by almost all motorcycle manufactures (the Japanese above all.)"
