Beyond Fabrications G3 - anyone have info

[2wheels4ever]

I've just purchased a Beyond Fabrications G3 which I think is from 1997. Other than that I have no information. Looked like a very novel design for a full suspension. If you have any information or background on Beyond Fabrication intergrated FS bikes it would be appreciated.

Hi,

My 1997 BIKE Workshop tells us:

frame costed 3795DM
it weighs 2kg (17.5'')
it is fabrcated from ''7005 Easton Custom, 6061 T6 Alu''
the rear end has 8 connection points to the main triangle
75mm travel

Beyond made a pretty similar looking G2-B. Bonded construction of aluminium lugs with Beryllium tubing. Price tag 50000 DM. Yes, 50K.

Only 2 made.

There also was a beryllium HT frame. That costed only 5690 DM. Weight 1.5kg.

No, not the same. American had a Beryllium frame as well. Thought there were three, but am not sure on this.
