Everything being swoopy like it came out of a vacuum former was getting very boring.

DC is state of mind

Like it is trying to pull them apart? I assume extra bonding or else has been adopted. Must say new methods of frame building are really interesting, this one included.

The sheer size of the idler should mitigate the disadvantage

The category is supposed to be a long wheelbase 110-120mm XC bike – like the Sparks. Surely this too inefficient when climbing or hammering flat sections for a light (supposedly efficient) DC bike?

I would however be super interested in a Ti replica of the Scott Spark with 120mm travel.
