"Deathtrap" eh?...never named a bike but that's a good one, a little negative maybe. I broke the shock which was actually a frame member in this design. It was also so antiquated that I would've had to get a new one custom made. It was 2 grand new. Bobbed like a Saigon 'Lady of the Evening'
Do you still have this bike? I hope you didn't throw it away! I have pretty much the same bike in perfect working condition except for one piece. You know that black piece that the seat post mounts to that says "Direct Drive?" That broke on my bike and I'd be thrilled if I could replace it! Are you willing to sell that one part to me?
