I think he said it was custom made by Ram Cycles somewhere in the Bay area.

We can't even see the pivot in that picture, how can you say its flexy????? The problem i see with the pivot is that its looks way too low. It will squat a lot when pedaling.Swoop said:

Holy slack seat angle! And I thought the SA on my Mountain Cycle 9.5 was laid-back... I'm thinking a Thomson post is about the only thing with enough adjustment to prevent having the nose of the saddle shoved up your arse...permanently.

not bad. in fact i like it. but there's something about it that makes me think that it would break easily, maybe it's that seat tube angle.
Yeah, same guy/company(?)(Ram Cycles?) building them, somewhat different design though. Pic below is the original pic he'd posted last time. My original opinion still stands. I beleive the original thread from the DH forum has been removed.El Chingon said:

Frame Weight
TOTAL WEIGHT: 46.1 LBS AS SHOWN
Pics: Not acquired yet. Again, check it out at Sea Otter.
Ride traits:
-Responds like a 3 point design when standing over or behind the BB, and sitting. But once you commit to a climb, and shift your weight forward, the rear end stiffens and becomes a " 1" " travel climbing capable machine, for lack of a better term. Basically, shift your weight forward and you can climb.
-The suspension design has applications all across the board. As far as the machine you see or as mild as an XC bike.
NOTE: This frame is capable of SS (Single Speed)
