I dont see how it works....

I must be missing something.

[IFO]

thats a whole lot of tubing to be just 10lbs (with shock)....

be interested in seeeing one up close that pic isnt the best.

[Loopie]

I'm with IFO....I think someone's scale may be a little off....unless those tubes are seriously pinner-wall.

Nelson....think Balfa BB7....same.

Looks like a mountain cycle 9.5 with a bb7 link plate. I like it tho

[levon]

IFO i would try emailing them and asking for a bigger picture,

[michelin man]

that looks like a 12 to 14 frame not 10 but if it is thats awesome

[Mr. Charles]

nothing to do with a BB7.

tankass look sweeter and sweeter

problem with that company is the design gets better and better each year... makes you want a new one. like buying a computers

[levon]

ya boyboy, i had last years tanksass. and i didnt think it could get any better this years just blows me away.

they just keep comming up with better and better ideas every year :D

[Danny K]

It should be VERY similar to a BB7. A single pivot approximately 7" up from the BB with an idler on the pivot for the chain.
Same with a BMW....
Same with the new Darkcycles frame...

Of course not identical, but very similar in function.

[Mr. Charles]

loopie, it has a steep rising rate. it has linkage. it's not a BB7.

yes, it uses a pully. it's a good logical idea.

[P3-boy]

clif cat rocks... yum! :drool:

From this angle, Dark Cycles, yes. Canfield F1, yes.

Boyboy - for the BB7 comment, I said it had similar link plates. But it does still remind me of a BB7.

edit: Not the linkage plates - I guess their torsion plates for side loads.
