You would have to have a lot of lateral flex to snap the carbon linkage. If either end of the suspension moved that much, you would have bigger problems.

With that said...

You know me oh to well... My reality is that i am way to much of a pu$$ to even use half of the travel that that frame has to offer... But it would be fun to see how confidence inspiring it would be Besides with a pretty new frame coming out I can smell the clearance sales starting... I will but only if it is a sick deal that i can not pass up. I would almost prefer an ASX as i could use it a bit more

i'm really starting to like the look of some of these bike designs...the way they curve and "flow" very organic.

I agree with Jeff, I'd love to see what kind of confidence that bike would inspire (I'm sure the ER docs would love it, too), but only if they knock a few thou off the price

Then again.....Hmmm, lucky seven for built/usable bikes?

Maybe if I win the lotto--can someone remind me to get a lotto ticket
