Hmmm, still would think the seat post should run down below the seat tube to avoid damage to the frame and give it strength, but I guess that would be impossible in this case. I'm no engineer, but some things should not be built ;) :LOL:
It's definitely different. :)

I think its fair to say you are quite correct in stating you are no engineer ;)

It should be lighter and stronger than a standard setup and for a race bike they make a lot of sense in many ways. Hence its no surprise that you'll find this feature on many new race frames :cool:

Note: that should be read as a light hearted jovial comment!!

Here it goes. 1993 21" Attitude prototype. It is a re-spray from the Klein factory. I bought it from one of the factory painters.

well i'm gonna throw this in
apparently one of the worst riding bikes ever
a fact i'd dispute , its not as bad as its supposed to be , even less so since
i re-made the pivot parts and tightened up the clearances
91 cannondale se1000

mibee , but they are very cool, this kinda stuff drew me to Cannondale. This was type of bike that made me want to get into mountain biking. :D

It's cool. So this is the future of mountain biking? Glad I live in the past.

That Steelhead is pretty tidy - I saw on the build thread that there was a batch for tall guys so out of interest, how long is the top tube?
