Saw a lad a coupe of days ago riding a mountian style bike (could have been a BSO) that appeared to be made of a single space frame strut that ran fron the headtube to the rear triangle with the BB supported by at the bottom of the seat tube. The seat tube seemed to run through the spaceframe section and protruded about 8" above the main strut. Clear as mud?
I didn't get a really good look at it but it certainly looked ineresting....probably rode like a cow on castors though.
Anyone got any idea what it might have been?
Forgot to mention...it was green

Very very similar to that but the main tube was a spaceframe thing rather than a single tube 🙂

No, that's the Kirk that's already been suggested.
Trimble was the first thing I thought of as well. About the only other beam bike I can think of is a Klein Mantra:

but it can't be that cos the OP said it was a hardtail.

CBR Gatecrasher. You can buy them from Littlewoods. Does that answer your questions?
It's funny - I only noticed it the other day as we were looking at very.co.uk (we had a discount code and needed an airbed). I saw a mountain bike section, and thought I'd take a look. It stood out from the page as a real looker....

I like it 😳
I thought it looked quite smart too.
The fact that it's available from Argos accounts of the look of the lad that was riding it....it was on the mean streets of Stockton on Tees after all 😉
