I think it looks unreal and probably will ride great but I think one big crash and that seat tubes a goneri'm gonna be contrarian & say i think this looks rad. the amount of non-triangulated seatpost mast borders on excessive (aesthetically); i might have tossed in a thin horizontal brace somewhere in there, but hey.
@buckoW
The i-track patents don't cover swingarm mounted idlers.
But, Linkage software does use my method for calculating AS with these configurations (and any configuration with a floating idler).
Thanks Hugh! I thought you had all the floating idlers.
Looks like your design will be used on a lot of bikes going forward. Must be exciting!
Hey Hugh,
this is looking awesome btw:

Interesting geo numbers. Would definitely try one.
I'm interested in the Bright suspension - some tests seems to have a similar feel to when the Trust Message came out, "It's great as long as you want something that doesn't handle like a normal fork and you have to relearn your riding style to accommodate"
Riding that thing sounds uh...interesting
Haha, what a train wreck.
so if i'm reading that right... if i pump my 160mm fork up to 0 sag, and pull out all the volume spacers, i've now effectively got a 180mm fork? sweet!
they feel attacked because they cant spot the motor bikes so easily if all ebikes are gonna look like that…i'm gonna be contrarian & say i think this looks rad. the amount of non-triangulated seatpost mast borders on excessive (aesthetically); i might have tossed in a thin horizontal brace somewhere in there, but hey.
the other pics are black/white bike on black background, at least you can see some details on this one
I can't afford either and don't know or care how they ride, but pretty much anything Antidote or Unno makes looks amazing IMO.
Interesting that Antidote offers both threaded and press-fit as an option
Yeah not a great review at all.
Almost 6k in Oz for a Chinese made frame, the world has gone full retard!
Welding the bottom bits in perfect alignment would have to be tricky, I'd think that would be a bearing eater if anything was a bit out of whack, I had flashbacks of my Corsair when I first saw it.

Is it yours? Any more info about it?
God no, I'm not one to not buy something because it is ugly but that thing is hideous!
Plus I have fat legs, they'd hate that top linkage.

That's a gin flask.Oh great now we have chubby 100ml water bottle by Liteville great for those hot summer days
gin flask? now THEREs an alcoholicThat's a gin flask.
Love how they have the longest seatstays ever connecting to something that has to reach even further forward to finally attach to the frame. Can we make frame stiffness the absolute last priority and make sure there is no space in the triangle?

it's like the designers were having a drunken design challenge. ie, "lets see if you can make a functional bike if i arbitrarily mount one end of the shock *here*. now GO!"
seriously why?
seriously why?
Eunuchs need bikes too!
