What was the best looking retro Full Suspension design?

[MJN]

After finally seeing one in the flesh,Ibis BowTi.

Mantis Pro-Floater!

Pro-floater for me too, i had a poster of one on my wall when i was younger, a bright lime green colour. *sigh*

 

[Gadro]

GT Lobo hands down

 

[IbocProSX]

Soo difficult to name just one, and truy keeping it to early ones. For looks alone the San Andreas scores high as does the Santa Cruz tazmon, various AMPs and the RTS/STS

But this one also was a head turner: Crosstrac Sonoma

It might as well have come from outer space, never saw one in the flesh.

Deb Murrells Formula One FS was a real looker.

It's got to be the AMP B2 (Mongooose Amplifier) it was a ground breaking design with ideas that are still used today.

Alot of companies changed their suspension design every year, the Horst link design is still about, and used by most of the best suspension bikes today.

Best looking?

AMP, as posted here. Absolutely beautifull AND functional.
San Andreas. A true classic.
Manitou. Loved that bike back then. Very clean look.

In this order.
