I always had a hankering for a mountain bike that I saw in a shop window a number of years ago probably the late 1980s, the frame was a single rectanglar bar (more like a bedframe) I,m sure it was USA manufactured probably either Specialized or Cannondale. Probably was rubbish to ride but I still wonder which bike this was. Have done a search on google and found nothing.
I am hoping the knowledge of STW can help
Trimble?

S-BIKE!
I missed the 'rectangular' bit!
Holy sh*t, look at that thing!
Is that a Paul's rear mech?

Close, but as you say rectangular.

That's the one, assume they didn't work well.
I had the rigid one swapped it for a set of golf clubs, at the time it seemed great but having now ridden other bikes it was truly awful.
This one's a beaut:

That's what you'd say if you rode with the saddle angle of the second SBike!

I wouldn't be complaining about my eyes, that's for sure - Lift And Separate is good for boobies, but not testicles.
pointless trivia.i think that the s bikes were designed by anthony quinn's son(i remember reading that on a s bikes catologue!!!)
Weren't the magnesium frames formed by high pressure casting of magnesium?
IIRC they weighed a ton and had some links to Dawes who imported them?
