i can ask several other questions just like this.
for example
-why is the bb height over 1 ft?
-why do you need a bash ring with that high of a bb?
-why is there dual 24s on that bike?
-how heavy of a spring do yo need with that long of a swing arm?

Cheesus. What a waste of such a nice frame.

Whoever put that bike together should be disemboweled and forced to listen to Celine Dion while they bleed out a slow and agonizingly painful death.

Is it a coincidence that the frame is a "rootbeer"ish colour?

Not to be a jerk but a foot is 12 inches and 12 inches is a low bottom bb.
why not have a bashring, it comes with the cranks and it helps keep the chain on.
the bike has dual 26s, the monster makes it look like it has 24s.

Yeh it does look like it has 24s on it but when you have a bike that big the wheals get smaller and smaller. Monster ts have huge crowns and can fit a 3.0 tire easy. I have 2 questions about it: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO A BIKE!!! and how much does it weigh?

Wow, that bike has it all:
Not Flexy
It DOES come in rootbeer
It CAN fit a 3.0 Gazzi
Perfect for everyone:thumb:

On a different note, I laughed my a$$ off at the 6" rotor in the back.

That bike is crazy! I would venture to say that if you put a lighter fork and some dirt tires on it, you'd have a pretty fun bike...

If car manufacturers can make crazy looking designs and protos, why can't bike companies do it. Take it as it is and be glad that some people are trying to be creative and come up with new (and crazy looking) designs. "don't worry, be happy" :)

i wonder what the leverage ratio of that giant swing arm is?
Leverage ratio is Travel:Stroke. What does the length of the swingarm have to do with it?

That is, if I'm not mistaken, a 1st-gen Nucleon built up all funny.

Those Nuc's posted above are nice machines...

Notice how they all have inverted forks and knobbies as opposed to the
Super and Hookworms, though?
