wow. you should stop with this stuff, it will not work. it would have to much leverage and compress the shock into the down tube. bike companys, well they pay desighners to build frames for a reason. also single pivots look like single pivots for a reason.
uffff YuKonEnduroOLLY many people do, you should really research a little before you shoot out a statement like that. plain steel is much stronger than aluminum, 4130 is a hell of a lot stronger and stainless steel is even stronger. look around, you will find many manufactures working with steel frames, and guess what, their frames do not brake.
