NAHBS is the by far the coolest bike show I've ever attended. The free beer didn't hurt either. Make me wan't to build my own frame.

More like have a certain amount of money tail-whip.

trainboy17 FL (Feb 8, 2012 at 17:58)

money is a factor, but if you take the time to contact bike companies they will tell you tube sizes and what not, a lot of those parts do not have to be bought off expensive frame building sites, rather discount online metal sites for way cheaper!

redrook (Feb 9, 2012 at 3:37)

Yeah, and we all have the time and expertise to weld and construct a frame. I know I don't.

Looks like a Kona.

Geodood (Feb 9, 2012 at 7:18)

Wow, full suspension came out in 1888 (or earlier). Who knew!

10

wrongcrowd (Feb 9, 2012 at 7:46)

Actually, that device you see on the top tube down to the rear wheel is the brake!

10

Geodood (Feb 9, 2012 at 9:26)

That's a good point, taking that element out makes it a little easier to see the frame. I still think the rear wheel has travel in concert with the lower headtube and fork. Check this out www.brodiebikes.com/blog/?p=2283 some shots of the linkage.
