this is actually canondale best idea theve had, best use of a lefty ive seen thus far, any one that dislikes this bike doesnt understand the concept here, and arron does some big
sh!t so it will more then lickly hold up to abuse, if i were to ever concider a fs bike (i wolnt for years) this might be the one

it looks like it would become wobbly after a few jumps

people keep saying they think it will go wobbly... anyone care to expand on it because frm an engineering standpoint the thing looks built like a brick house

Yeah I saw they put up the article, I just wanted to know if it pivoted around the BB, which it does.

the pivot is in front of the bb instead of behind, to reduce the chainstay length, it makes the bike feel more like a hardtail than a long wheelbase fully
