Another frame I lusted after in my youth. Loved how burly the linkage was and the position of the shock. Bet it was a pita to clean through.

Yes cleaning was bad, and as it got old and worn the lateral wobble on the 5 pivot bearings made you a bit seasick....
Looked great tho and that linkage was rad - mine still had all the milling machine marks on it !
