Built a few, they are extremely light full suspension bikes, it a little flexy at the back.

Even with the Horst link, that the man himself developed?

Coupled with that amp dive on the front Ride AMP, and feel your way about the track

I'd really like to own a B2 or early B3, I have always thought they were an incredibly simple, elegant and beautifully built thing. Although being that I have also always been, ah, stout, I suspect they're probably not the ideal retro bike for me. Still like to build one, M900 with a Mag, I think.

Oh yes...we know Horst (not personally, of course)

Plenty more at the AMP Research research thread here.

And our special interest fanboi group on Facebook: AMP'oholics.

All the best,

Met Horst and his son Harry back in 2001/2002 via the automotive industry. We were doing a rear cargo extender for the infamous Subaru Baja made by AMP and came into our tech center for a fitting. The COOL thing was that my mtb at the time was a Fat Chance Ti WITH a carbon F3 and I had it at the office that day out of pure coincidence.

Anyway, they were super nice guys
