Hey guys. Long time no see.
I just picked up a Nashbar 4000X elevated chainstay bike,about 1990 I think.As I was checking out the bike I started wondering who came up with the design for elevated chainstay mountain bikes? When did they show up? I think they started showing up around 1990 but I'm sure there were earlier examples.
As for the bike,I haven't taken it out for a ride on the trail yet. I know that the e-stay bikes had their good and bad points. I just want to know the history of these bikes. Thanks.
