If the mounts to the bars were left sorta loose, it could flex up and down with the suspension travel. I think it could be lots of fun.

This is classic Craigslist foolishness.
There's a guy on my local CL who keeps listing a nondescript low-end 80's road bike as a P14 Schwinn Paramount, even though I've contacted him and let him know there is no way his bike is a Paramount: https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/bik/1876653511.html
There really is no cure for (a) stupid, or (b) willful ignorance.

Anyway, I thought you guys would appreciate that. There are some people on this CL that are just nuts. Didn't seem to get that too much with the bloomington one...
