A [b]bit[/b] of a distance? I take it we are measuring in miles rather than yards?
Look at Transition Bottlerocket and Orange Blood.
They're the same but different.

Transition Covert - On One Codiene
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all...
But, there's only so many ways to make a bike so cosmetic similiarities are to be expected. When you look at the Nic and the Vitus there the pivots, linkage etc look pretty different.

Still gave me a lol.

The NP is a single-pivot though, to be fair.

Erm, obviously it's not [i]the same frame[/i], but they're shockingly similar.
A bit off topic, but could somebody explain the Five filing cabinet connection. I get that the Five looks a bit crude, but why a filing cabinet? Why not a tractor or something?
because, a 5 'in flight' sounds like a filing cabinet* falling down a flight of stairs.
and they look like filing cabinets.
(*full of nails/spanners etc.)
Another one for those that may have missed it previously...
