WheelTired, Thanks for sharing your great MTB collection! They are all great. I really like the Bigfoot and chrome Mongoose with bi-plane fork in particular--at least so far. +1 to Keep 'em coming!
The Head 610 and the one below it (can't make out the brand/model) are really interesting. I know other bikes have also used a similar elevated chain stay (I'm sure there's another word for it). I'm surprised that design hasn't caught on more since it would avoid chain slap, and also allow for a new chain to be installed/removed without having to take the chain apart. Seems like a good set-up for someone who rides in a lot of sludge or is obsessive about chain cleanliness.
