very nice bike. for a small, relatively unknown company you guys sure do make some quality looking bikes. only thing that "sticks out" for me is how the top-tube bends upward from the head-tube.

Thanks!
Once we get the bikes built up you'll see the tube shape better. it has to do with the geometry and fit.

what kind of linkage system though? i'm torn between saying Marin's true 4-bar and Mondraker's Zero system. but it looks like a combination between a bunch of them.

Eventually I'll get off my butt and put the technical information on the web site! You are very close in your observation. We use a patent pending new system called Moto*GP Floating Suspension System which floats the shock between 2 parallel rotating links. It is pretty close to an isolated true 4-bar style keeping all braking and pedaling forces separate of the suspension forces.
