charleyboy14, no shit. this is a CAD rendering of a proto frame that was never made. you can't ride a peice of paper now can you? if this was actually made, i'm not the only person who would go for this way faster then a Lambda.
you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. this bike would be better than or at least compareable to almost every single current DH race bike. just because it was designed in 99 doesn't mean it's crap. think of how long VPP bikes have been around. they're still great. don't even get me started on single pivots here, you'll lose.
no it's not over built. it's strong in the places it needs to be and light in the places it can be. you can't have too much standover by the way. standover does nothing but help you in any type of riding.
Urban-Houdini, are you like retarded or something, there is no such thing as: "too much standover"!!!!!!!!! I don't know about you, but I like every inch of posabillity to save my nuts!!!!!!!!!
actually, the tubing isn't that complicated. it's a reletively simple linkage and there's not much going on. it just looks like it because it's crammed into a small space.
