Bit of info on the bike and a bit about the air shock + (not) lockout. Pretty cool!

is it me or is the lockout lever fashioned from a shimano brake lever of some kind?

my first thought when i saw that was it was some king od anti-dive mechanism, i.e. as the brake lever is squeezed it closes the rebound circuit.

Then realised it wouldnt work off road as braking bumps would pack it down.

i think it's just a thumb lever style affair but it seems to be shimano branded

Its the same as the remote on newer fox shocks. Shimano make it.
