You do realize the incredible markup there is on those sorts of components, right? It really doesnt cost the manufacturer much for a shock. ESPECIALLY on large production runs.

Well, the Karpiel Apocalypse has a coil, with a smaller air shock attached at the end of the coils stroke. It's not quite what the thread starter was talking about, but it's similiar, and it's a production model, not some random homemade beast.
