I love Simons solution for the 856 swingarm, super neat and tidy (this seems to be a common theme of Simons work!) and i must wonder why proflex never did a production version like this.
Cheers all

Hay i've seen some of the piccies of Simons suspension work and it is indeed super cool work, and I would suspect Simon was employed at the Proflex/K2 "Skunk-works" producing secret protoype suspension set-ups and it was only after the companies exit of the market that the pictures were allowed to be published. (These rigs were tested on the ultimate singletrack is contained in Area 52 which doesn't even appear on Google Earth!!)  8)
