What was the model name of the Cannondale DH bike that had a load of gearing/cogs/chains around the bottom bracket? I think it was being run by the sponsored riders for a season around the late 90's.

The bikes looked as though they weighed a ton.

EDIT: I think it was the Fulcrum from 1998.
 
Wow, thanks for posting that link, fascinating stuff there. Some of the evolution of my Gemini is covered in the second slide show.
 
Awesome bike!
I think the fulcrum would have almost be 1 of the first full sus bikes to have a virtual pivot point? Was a great idea to use 2 BB's to be able to gear it up so you got much more ground clearance.
I have a article somewhere where the magazine got their hands on Miles Rockwells team one. They loved it.
 
The 2 bb allowed the gearing to be altered, but the effect the chain had on the suspension remained constant as it was designed aroundthat size of front ring.
