Unusual MTB Frame And Forks

Very unusual....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330836109117? ... 1423.l2649

looks like the rear wheel does not need the extra space made by the interupted seat tube, looking at the placement of the brake bosses, so a bit pointless.....but it does look very pleasing to the eye for some reason.......

So which idiot bought that then?



al.

It's a french frame builder named "Explosiv' "
He made only steel frames and work on the elasticity. These frame didn't need suspension.
He built some specific frame for Trial too

Nice interesting frame!

Seems Pascal liked to engineer flex in one direction by using parallel narrow tubes.

Looking forward to this one

Always liked the oddities, would love to here how much rear travel it has.

Comfort maybe....travel ? hmmmm....

So... did anyone on here get it? I would have bid but it had already finished!

If it did flex under the weight of the rider (on the open diamond shape) surely it would flex (if it does flex) the brake bosses out of line.
