I am not a fan of rear suspension, but the fact is that Mini has it and Curve doesn't; and this suspension can be adjusted, modified, or even disabled entirely, as the user sees fit; and Curve does not have these options. Mine, in its current modified form, is very nice (Mini +1).
Could you talk a little about how you modded the suspension system, particularly where the chainstays connect to the frame via plastic "brackets"? I've seen the extensive work Jur has done but was wondering if you've done anything differently.
