I've been checking out these Otis Guy frames with the top tube 
drastically rearranged, and an Allsop beam suspension seat an integral 
part of the bike. They also have an Allsop suspension stem as part of the 
package. Now the folks at Performance say these bikes are way cool and 
fast, and only 25 lbs. On the other hand, they say you have to adapt your 
riding style to stay in the saddle all the time. This seems impractical 
to me as often I rise up on downhills to get maximum effect in shifting 
my weight. It also seems to be me that despite the Beam saddle, the bike 
will still take a pounding that the other type of suspension systems are 
designed to absorb, ie, letting the bumps get absorbed before the energy 
gets to the frame. Any comments, platitudes, lame metaphors?
