Who made e-stays

[Elev12k]

Of course legendary: The articles in MBA in which R Cunningham worked with others toward this design based on clever thoughts.

On the other hand, the same year Chris Chance accomplished about the same with a real inteligent desinged chassis: the Yo Eddy. Plenty of room for tires and rings ...AND agile, precise though stable handling. Without the flaws of the E-stay design.

Anyway, E-stays are cool.

Im thinking the cannondale, proflex and boulder were full sus? and the formula?

Don' forget Mountain Cycle, like the San Andreas

So were there any that were truly woeful?

Trek made a full susser with a beam for a swingarm, and rubber bumpers in front. A jump would launch the rider over the bars.

I wonder if full-sus E-Stays are really the same thing. For me, full sus is all pretty ugly (especially my Tomac), whereas rigid E-Stays look special and different.

I suppose I just love the look of the Funks and the Yeti Ultimates, which makes me a complete tart with no idea if E-Stay was a good idea or not!
