It's like a placeholder in the history of the cycling sport and industry. This proof of concept bike was a spike in the evolutionary curve of MTBs, in the same way that auto manufacturer's show cars yield radical new production models.

Would it be possible to post MBA magazine pics or maybe incomplete pages that relate to this bike and other prototypes in this series? It's a beautiful design job, and contains much of your creative input from that period, so I'd think it might be okay.
