1. Upper chainstay is the seatstay.
2. It's interesting that Showa was making forks like this 10 years ago.

I had one of those old gaint carbon DH bikes come into shop. It didn't have a rear fork but it had an even wierder linkage. The guy was using it for commuting, I almost wanted to buy it off him and slap him.

Yeah guys you see the seatstay isn't a fork, it has adjustable crowns. That way you can adjust your BB height.

Im a bit confused, look what i found when i looked the bike up, http://www.bikepedia.com/Quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1998&Brand=Giant&Model=MCM+980&Type=bike

Id have thought it was obvious, look at the differences, i mean, what happened? its a machine now when the original spec and pic in bikepedia is basically an xc bike

18lbs is a load of shit , Anyone who rides bikes would know that it would be down right retarted to have a 18lb dh bike and that it is impossible, Lightest dh build i have ever heard of is a 28lb trek session 9.9 all brand new proto type shit that you dont even know exists , Maybe you should get a real bike scale and take a picture of your so called 18lbs

That's hilarious. 
An ordinery DH bike will do the same job as that one, and maybe even better.
I recon that, let's say, a Scott Gamlber can do bigger jumps than this one.

dude bike looks awesome, but i think u need to remove that front shifter/deraulier and put some nice single speed dh crank 38t ring with mrp system chain guide, and rear shock as well, dhx5.0, is that fork steel? u need fox40 bro... and your bike will rock, i am sure it will weigh lighter, cheers

wait wouldn't the crown of the fork hit the seat tube with in like 2 inches of the shock link moving ?
