Crazy!

All I could think was "where the hell would you get parts for that thing"?

Talk about drive trail loss. Cool idea. Poorly implemented.

Most of the time you'd find Hope Mono-6 calipers on serious DH bikes. Here you find it on a 4" bike cross country bike that's been extensively lightened w/ carbon seat post, bars, and cranks, presumably due to the additional interia (and weight) of all the extra rotating parts. But then why have two brakes when one beefy brake will stop both wheels since they're directly connected? About all this bike is good for is someone who is tired of riding wheelies and wants to ride on the front.

I wonder if this thing is hiding a differential somewhere. Otherwise, handling might become "interesting" in certain situations.
