Watch the Marin video with Shaums (the Interbike I rode the first gen 4-bar Marin was when Shaums was on Chumba). I test rode the F4 with Shaums that year. Lisa Sher let me borrow her's and he rode along with me. See 3:10 in the video to see how the current 4bar system works:

Please come back once you can make a post that iswhats the point of a linkage i doubt there is any brake jack
I think that those come in a spray can...Who gives a crap about the bike, I want one of those badass beards!

That bike was designed by a guy that used to work for the McLaren F1 team. The suspension works really good, at least on the rear. The fork, not so much.
I own Lisa's HT Rotec frame from the '98 World Cup.
Well, the nosepiece is right, so they are right side up, but they do look upside down.That guys glasses look upside down....
Ah we think so much alike. I saw it, didn't even look at the [slur deleted - jbp] bike. I said, "I want one"Who gives a crap about the bike, I want one of those badass beards!
FWIW that is a 'telelever' front end, which is very different to the linkage on the Whyte bike.
