Check out the Kingdom. I was actually pretty fuggin stoked on it...until I read the description...something straight out of Napolean Dynamite! But I guess they kept their minds open, and that's ALWAYS a good thing! But it's a Jap Sanko tubed short-travel frame set and it looks light and tight. Not quite as bulky looking as a TBC Double...
I'd post a pic, but I don't know how to take it off the site, plus I didn't really try too hard... sorry. It's Sunday morning.

Here is the pic:

I noticed this frame in some Eurobike pictures. Not sure what it is but I like it more the the Kingdom:

Anyways, back to the Kingdom. MacMahone makes really interesting designs and I would love to test one out. It looks super fun and weight seems alright for the frame, 8.37 pounds. Geo looks decent as well.

Are the seat stays supposed to flex or am I missing a pivot/linkage?

 

[DirtEveryDay]

No, concentric BB... like the Kona Cowan, Arrow DSS, etc. The BB shell IS the pivot.

That Kindom is the sex.

I get that, but look at the stays. No pivot and there don't appear to be multiple links at the top (like foes).

 

[DirtEveryDay]

Doesn't need to be, the shock and the swing link share the same bolt/pivot. Look at the shiny one below it, the shock is mounted lower than the pivot bolt, so it moves in a different arc.

That macmahone vaguely reminds me of the norco 420. SS, short travel, and peggable.

BLAAAAAAAH! Spew, cough**** Man...now I need a new keyboard...

 

[Cash-Money]

those 420s were never a good thing, and I'm a norco fan

Solid Flair (Shiny one) looks like a nice bike.

I wanted one but I went with less expensive frame (in build).

The kingdom looks really nice also(i wander about the price). There is no need for add. pivot as long as they have the characteristic they wanted. :
http://www.macmahone.com/blog/ - Prototypes looks bit weird. I like SP. It is propably linear, if not see no reason to complicate the linkage so much.

the reason there is no pivot at the drop. its a steel rear triangle, it can flex the very small little bit that the pivot would do.

that's what I was getting at. without stay flex It would be locked out.
