I find it amazing how many people are still wed to the 1890 DF bike design. It of course is good for single tracking and mountain biking.
I always wondered about how the design has not changed much. Just the materials the frame , etc is made from. I always wondered is there a better design more in the line of a running man style, lower and utilizing both the upper body and lower body to propel you. My idea is more of a body suit , or like a custom made suit / wheels and propulsion prosthetic... Some day I will design it. (Some day means never) heheehe
