Because I thought it would be of interest to us pre 97 Manitou FS owners...if it really offends I can move it somewhere where nobody will see it

I agree. Sure, it's a modern bike and a modern build - but the concept (at least, the rear suspension) is straight outta early 90s Manitou.

It is a tribute to an iconic FS design from pre-97.

Having relevance to today (being a modern bike) doesn't diminish it having relevance to the Manitou FS bikes that we all thought were cool back in the day because "they had a fork at the back too".

I wouldnt have seen it and appreciated the nod to retro if wasnt shown here so .... i approve and although I hate modern bikes i think it looks really feckin cool

to me, other than the color scheme / elox parts and a bit of retro pieces like Manitou FS like rear suspension and chain stays like used 30years ago
at this bike

I find this ride very ugly I must admit.
In particular proportions doesn't match to what I all a nice bike.

Yes, Clark Kent chainstays sprang to mind when I saw it, too.

All the best,
