My bike (Cannondale) was stolen along with my xc race bike a Marin mount vision 5.9 with rotor cranks and XT wheels. both bikes locked inside my apartment building...stolen from fort york area Toronto. $500- reward for information that leads to the recovery of one bike, $1000 for both.
re-do with carbon swingarm and carbon downtube. I believe that the chain tension system should not be effected or barely effected by pedal forces.Uses relatively easy to manufacture parts, simple carbon fiber parts. Carbon downtube is concave to allow the shock room, and uses 3 large bolts on either end to attach to the main frame.
simple yet effective design, NOT TO SCALE but close enough to get the idea across. design focus on creating similar functional characteristics as the REDALP replica dh but with a more compact and visually pleasing design.
not to scale, but shows my general idea. Not positive that the chain tension device would not create pedal bob, love to hear what the engineers think about this.
just messing around, designed as an AM, FR, DH capable frame. adjustable rear drop outs, shock length, and head tube angle.8" max travel. not too scale.
