ARS 5 looks about right! WTF is going on with that kinked down tube and all the gussetts and flanges? :? The black one looks broken to me.

Comparing it to the other one it looks wrong eh??

Like it's had a repair, perhaps...

Hi,

why do you think its broken?
A ride with this bike, make a lot of fun



bye Stefan

Lovely, lovely bike . . . but the down-tube on the black one looks like it has a 'bend' in it (unlike the one in his other auction and yours, Stefan)

And there also seems to be an extra 'gusset' on there too (in the black auction)..

Yup, Stefan's (as usual) is the real deal. Looks like they thought it might also be a good idea to triangulate the rear arms.
I like the Conejo; it looks like some thoght has gone into it, unlike Moots of the era, where they just stick a pivot or mount wherever and hope for the best.
