there any place to get plans for a suspended LWB bent? I have only seen plans for suspended SWBs.
Thanks. Dan

You’ll pardon our chuckling at the irony of you’re looking for SUSPENDED LWB plans and taking a WELDING class:

Termite Taxi:

Groundhugger XR-2

You could adapt these to metal if you don’t want to go with wood or carbon fiber. The Groundhugger XR-1 was an unsuspended steel bent.
You should be able to adapt the suspension from SWB metal bent plans to longwheelbase metal hardtail plans as another alternative.

Or maybe this one; http://www.boomspeed.com/papasbent/WidowMakerTi-Carbon_lwb.jpg if you'd rather forego the welding and cough-up a bit of plastic. Since he's a close friend of mine.... maybe he'll consider sharing some numbers with ya.

I don't why I neglected these links. Although not an "active" design, I certainly is a "no brainer" build, especially if the right MTB frame can be located.
