I'm sure someone must have tried this..
I was looking at some of the elaborate methods of attaching rear shocks
to frames, and thought, "Why doesn't somebody just turn the frame into a shock?" Use a wishbone seat stay attached to a plunger that fits into the top tube, the body of which makes up the rest of the Shock Absorber? Sort of like Cannondale's HeadShok. Pivots at the dropouts and at the top of the wishbone would compesate for changing angles. This seens to be such a simple and relatively lightweight solution. SOMEbody must have tried it, so why didn't it work? "May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills!"
