Hrm, would that linkage pivot ever bash the inside of your knee when things get a bit out of control? I really don't like having parts moving that close to my control area.

The more I look at it, the more I think it's like one of the mind tricks that you always see in books or newspapers.

If you were to picture the bike without the seatstays and that linkage it looks like there is some decent standover, but the seatstays are so long it appears alot taller.

BTW, Nice rig :thumb:

That thing is awesome! Lambda ehh? Reminds me of a certain Revenge of the nerds movie. I guess thats what they come up with in the science club. :D :cool: The air intakes on the head tube make that thing hella fast, too.

I love the look of those.. That linkage does make me nervous though, looks like it'd inflict damage if your knee ever ended up in front of it.

Sweet bike porn though !

I rode it and managed to bang myself with it every time I got on the thing. It was jagged, man! I hope you have some secret technique or something planned to avoid getting molested by that contraption! Hellskull never did get used to it, but it sure seemed like it would be a fast bike!

Nice build, BTW!
