This is one of very many mono pivot models that have the pivot in the same "magic" location as our old K2/Proflex bikes. Maybe the designer, Bob Girvin, knew what he was doing!  [smiley=nod.gif]

That frame does seem to be the closest copy of an EVO though.

keep something long enought and maybe it'll coming back into fashion like, wide ties, nehru jackets, gold chains, hairy chests bell bottoms and disco balls.

OP
Yeah, they don't make 'em anymore - it's a classic - - -

I'm not a big fan of the "modular" design. The smaller you are, the farther forward you're going to have to sit, relative to the bottom bracket. Seems like it would work well for one size and be slightly off for all other sizes.

Personally, when it comes to carbon fiber, I'm a fan of designs that are too expensive to manufacture and later become cheap because they were discontinued for that reason!  ;)

Pivot location looks good. Too bad that makes it such a pain to do the 5-minute jiffy lube... (I can't remove the bushing without removing the outer chainring).
