I must be the only one who wasn't offended by what was said about the bike. It is definately the least common geometry for a lot of riders I know(I have only seen 1 in 3 years here) and it is very strange looking. Whether or not it works or not is irrelevent. It is odd compared to suspension today.
There is a lot of suspension I find odd looking. Doesn't mean I comment on performance or not. But it is odd

And I may be new to the sport but I do know a lot about suspension design and still think it is strange to look at
