The Astrix Huckster (I don't like the name though)
I like the way the suspension works:D....and the owner has told me they expect it to hold up to big forks and regular 10ft'er no problem:cool:
So we'll see what happens.....

I like it. Just a couple of concerns though, first, who the hell are they and how will the be with replacement parts, warranty etc. Secondly, like the old stinky frames, the "S" curve in the seat tube limits your seat post length. The seat post issue can be solved with a telescopic, but I'd find out a little more about the company before throwing down the cash.
