Here's something a little different: an early 90's 'designed in Australia' 26er MTB. The frame design is nuts, it’s like a secret message from the Illuminati.
It's got an independent rear triangle with concentric pivot around the bottom bracket. Being an elastomer setup the travel is tiny but noticeable (just).
This is the Aussie version of the frame; I believe it was sold as the 'Muddy Fox Rock'n'Roll' in the US and as the 'Kuwahara Savage TS2000' in parts of North America and Europe. If anyone has more info on these frames, I'd be keen to hear!
I've done a rear suspension overhaul and a simple single speed conversion. It's great fun on light trail with the easy 32:16 ratio. The tyres are perished but otherwise it's in great nic for a 30-year old bike.
