I vaguely remember those - does it bolt on to your dropouts and then the suspension bolts onto the wheel?

I kind of remember reading about them, but never saw one. They bolted to the dropouts and the canti mounts. But the extra weight, increased wheelbase and price seemed to thankfully put most people off

it does look a bit heavy , let alone scary .

I do recall those. Looks a bit heath robinson.

If that's bad who recalls the front suspension which involved turning the front forks round, a bit of angle iron and a bungy cord? Seem to rememeber them advertising in MBA back in the day

ATZ , used to have a similar system , where you had to turn the original fork around .

Philippe Perakis , a swiss rider was very successfull on this system . He used to ride for Cilo .

Yes I remember him - that was a downhill bike - fluo colours (yellow and pink) the forks were backwards (almost zlink Kona style) and the rear looked pretty similar (almost a second set of stays on a parallelogram linkage system)

I also remember a British company (Ozone maybe) producing something which bolted onto your dropouts and gave about an inch or rear suspension.
Some things are best left in the past...
