That looks [censored]. As far as I can see from the photo (correct me if Im wrong) it looks like it's
relying in the 'bounce' of the frame. Think of the fatigue .... *SNAP* thats what would happen to
your pretty S shaped bike. And the forks are really bad. The componentry looks pretty painful too.
Just my two bits worth, worth.

Yeah, what kind of idiot would ride a bike that relies on the frame to flex.

Theres some sort of shock in the rear = not solely. while that useless piece of s-shaped [censored] is
just trying to scam you out of money to go and buy a replacement. its a SCAM! They're all
against us!

Yes, solely.
The shock dampens the amount of flex, it's not a structural member.
That frame can be ridden without the rear shock installed.

I've only ever seen one - awesome bit of kit - Rohloff hub can be fittted at rear (or could be
singlespeed), the guy riding it was a Mad Kiwi who'd do any jump or drop off you'd care to point
him at on it.

Lahar's DH bike has to be the ugliest I have ever seen... but I kinda do like the lines of the
soft tail.

Yikes!
Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should
give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
