Thanks brah, my thoughts entirely. I can drop the top tube down way more cause I put everything low down on the frame. I like how the scissor jack prototype came out with the super low frame so I think i will do it on this one as well.

like it alot more than the previous one, looks sorta like a commencal in the way the shock is placed but probably with alot better proformance thanks to the added links

thats a very intresting concept , but the issue will be getting the strength into such a close ratio linkage....

this frame would just snap instantly, for starters the grey link that connects to the shock pushes outward as it comes up , but the wheel wants to push it inwards, its impossable to explain , but this will simply fail!on so many levels. just think about it..... and think about where the force (rear wheel upward force) is being aplied to. the end of a lever efectivly! it wants to piviot around the lower conection! it will snap instantly! also when the frame is bottomed it wants to keep streching the white lower link....redesign before preduction!

You know I do have a video of me actually riding it and it didnt snap then. I cannot validate any of your concerns with regard to the linkage in any way. The thing works really well.

Its really the same linkage as my capstone frame.
If you say its impossible to explain then you dont know what youre talking about or its not an issue.
This animation is done in SolidWorks. If it were going to bind or break based on simple motion, the interference detection would not allow it to go through all of the travel and thus there would be no video showing it work.

nice the wheel path is pefectly vertical are you going to beef up the head tube wtih gussets or not ?

this particular rendering has 8.5 inches rear wheel travel but I may bump it down to 7 for a freeride bike.

hopefully this winter but definately in the spring for my senior design project. Just need money for materials. Good ole Xmas should come through.
