Hi. I'm gonna introduce myself to the forum with a pet peeve of mine.
"Faux bar" seems to be the label for bikes with four bar linkages with the rear lower pivot on the seatstay instead of on the chainstay (Horst Link). Well, a "four bar linkage" is just an engineering principle that includes both varieties of swingarm designs, so a "faux bar" is a "four bar" just as much as a Horst link bike.
I wish the mag(s) would stop talking about "faux bars".
