Okay, that fully is kinda okay, they are sometimes for sale here but it seems they are not that much wanted

It is a variation on the Horst Leitner designed Amp Research / Mongoose suspension bike from the 90s. I want that fork so much

I understand, the forks ride really great, are light and easy to maintain. And they look very exciting.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how that rear suspension functions. The shock appears to be connected to 2 points on the main triangle. Also like the curved seat post to make room for wheel travel, but then stuffed a pump in there

I was thinking the same the second I saw it.
But there is a small black linkage that connects the damper to the frame.

Oh holy smokes, are you frikkin serious?! "Was bored and thought up and built a crazy wheel set. 26” mounted on a 20” mounted on a 14” wheel. Completely rideable too!
"Each wheel was basically 3 wheel builds. The challenge with having same width rims is you can’t really true it (spoke holes line up laterally). Rounding it was the same and each hoop is rounded near perfectly. But truing just had to fall in line for the outermost hoop."
