Does anyone know of a slingshot MTB Frame still being
ridden by someone, or even hanging in a garage. I am
looking to rebuild a early 90's icon and need to track
down a frame. Would also consider a road version frame
as well.

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went and had a look at their website. The idea seems pretty
cool but $1300 US for a frame only means I won't be getting
one in a hurry. Anyone here ridden one?

Only for about 100m, but it felt very light, if somewhat
flexy. Great for climbing, but my mental "jury" is still out
vis a vis sprinting or descending.

Only for about a km. Everyone who I knew who had one,
broke them (I knew of 2, road/tri frames, would have to
have been 10years ago?). Failure at the seattube/top tube
join from memory. Both sold their replacement frames as
soon as they came in.

Are these the frames that had a cable instead of a downtube?
Weird stuff indeed!
