No Duh, they had no pivot near the rear dropouts(just like the MacMahon in discusion!) Rolleyes
You posted the scapel which has no bb pivot just flexing carbon. And the fuel has a bb pivot. I was keeping up with the convo and am familiar with what you are throwing down. Relax.
Well next time notice how I only put the perenthacied "No pivot by BB" for the cannondale pic, that would intend that I am only stating it for that pic.
Well then you didn't clarify that the fuel was different. As stated before, not trying to get into it with you. I am done.

so the issue here becomes... why do people consider this a good design?

Another plus is the rear suspension naturally gets stiffer the deeper into the travel it gets. This takes a lot of stress off the tiny air shock, and lets the designer use a very short travel.

It's steel, it doesn't fatigue like aluminum does. It'd be just as durable as any normal frame.
