thats what i said!!! and actually its a VPP/VF4P (that includes maestro and DW) design + floating shock.
BTW Mr.Oneghost sir, no need for the water bottle holder -.- Although come to thing of it if you had some sort of integrated battery pack holder for a night light battery and/or WIRELESS DISK BRAKES (yeh i said it) it would be cooler. Today, especially with someone who can cough up $2500 for a frame, there is no need for a water bottle. They/we just use camelbaks.

'twas a joke. But seriously if you had a way for me to throw a battery pack into the frame directly it would be sweet. Especially for the Super D cat of riding, and trail riders, probs a good idea.

the frame is nothing like a Trek. NO THING like one. Trust me.
battery pack eh? that is what the water bottle boss is for, your battery pack.
I like the wireless brakes....humm I think you are on to something!

haha k ill take your word for it, save for the fact it runs a floating shock lol.
As for the battery pack thing, i was thinking a slot in the frame, if not for a battery pack than just storage for small things in general. And judging by the way it looks on the pic. The water bottle wouldn't be able to be put in or taken out lol.
and yeh, wireless brakes would rock lol.

the down tube, the susp. linkages etc, the rear triangle, the curved seat tube. yes, its not LOADS like it but i can see some influences.

this is just the initial concept. the final drawings are on the web site now. with some designs like this, you need to bend tubes to make room for the shock and if one tube is bent/shaped you need to do them all to make the bike flow better. There is some influence, yes, but simply by design of tube shapes for clearance.
And also if you could it would be cool if you made it so you could use a shorter shock or change the point where the shock attatches so it can turn into a 5incher.
