You could also use a swinglink to free the shock from the strut, like the new Proflex carbon.

Well, I didnt mean any disrespect by calling the bike wacky, it actually looks well made, but, lets just say its definatly not really my cup of tea, and while I've seen a few cool schwinn style frames built up as mountain bikes klunkers included I generally love old pre-war 1939 and older (some newer too) type bikes with that style frame.

Truth of the matter is folks; I was frame building with Columbus Metax Stainless at the time and True Temper Platinum steels. I am the only frame builder in the world (so I am told) to successfully silver fillet braze bicycle frames. This should be enough to draw attention to the media, but it did not. So I put this “Wacky” Schwinn together to market my work. BANG! Mountain Bike and Mountain Bike Action (Fiction to us) posted photos in the early 90’s of my Schwinn full suspension flicks. That is the story! The fact is, they are great to ride, and they draw attention anywhere thy go.

A rose called by any other name....

I might add, that a bicycle is different to everyone. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and think of what you wish; I am “In Love” with this bike….
