Delilah
 |
Put all our suspension
technology together with a racing bike in a Samsonite suitcase
and stir: you could end up with Delilah. This is a bike you can take with
you on your travels, and without advertising the fact. So you won't have
to explain the unique double wishbone frontsuspension, the unified rear-triangle,
or the fact that this is a small wheeled bike which goes! |
