05 Clifcat Solution and Tankass

[DHJUNKIE]

I am not sure if any of you guys have checked out the clifcat website lately but there are pictures of the new Solution DH frame. The frame weight is roughly 10-12lbs when complete w/ avy.

Looks good. But with the censored part, I'm imagining it has similar a linkage concept to the PDC DH1 to keep the axle path controlled vertical then rearward. At least that what I'm picturing :???:

[xy9ine]

its just a single high pivot. the linkage if for shock actuation only. (kinda similar to the pdc).

the blury part is ultra secret so secret that even when you buy the bike it will still be blury!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If you mean its similar to the Cortina DHE 8 lower linkage, than we're on the same page.

really pissed about the Tankass.


If he was gonna go make better/lighter ones two months after making mine, why not tell me?

I would have fuckin' waited!

the tankass is still 8lbs...

I think the "censorship" is trying to disguse the fact that there's missing hardware and the shock doesn't seem to be connected to anything.

kinda silly, as it draws more attention by doing it.

I was thinking same thing... seems to be some junk missing in there... maybe thats why its so light!

I betcha if you removed some of the tubes, shock spring and maybe the rear swingarm they could get that puppy down to 3.5lbs
