It not only looks like an Astro AFDHA, its identical to it. Atleast as far as I can tell.
And how is this a concentric BB design? even though the lower rocker turns around the BB, the actual path of the wheel as it goes through travel, does not follow a circle around the BB axis, hence, it ain't no concentric BB design. The rocker revolves around the BB for increased stiffness and strength (wider, thicker, with more surface than usual).
The colour is horrible, and should be reconsidered:P also, the rear triangle doesn't fit the front triangle very well. Could be made much more esthetically appealing if they reduced its size somehow. Other than that, nice one!

It's a 29 front wheel. And why pointless? I'm no huge fan of the solution (Trek's done it too, check out their so called "69'ers"). However, the "roll over obstacle" ability of a 29"er combined with the nimbleness of a 26" (by nimbleness I am refering to the lesser "rotational inertia" or whatever it's called in English, compared to that of a 29"). It looks abit wierd, but from what I've heard, they're really good. Obviously a bike for those who like to stand out. Can you spot the photographer? Nice.

The paint comes off quite easily. just apply some, wait 3-5 minutes and rub it off with steel whool. Remember to use gloves, as the paint stripper is acidic(?), also, remove any excess paint stripper. Mine was water based so i just washed it with water afterwards. I did mine over several days. Just be patient:) quite recently I polished the raw alu with a metalpolish I bought at a hardware store. Now its nice and shiny. I'll put up some pics soon of this years build. Getting a coil DHX or vivid as well.
