    Could be a new move towards aero front brakes as seen in recent road bikes?

    maybe they wanted to see what happens to the steering when there's lots of trail :)

    Fork is back to front. Brakes are behind the suspension.

    Looks like someone has loosened the bars but put them the wrong way afterwards.

    Idiot. It was you wasn't it?

    It is for sale on a local FB page. I've PM'd the owner to advise!! :D No wonder it's hardly been used, it's my guess it just doesn't feel right!! :lol::lol:

    my 6 year old mountain bike has a Manitou front fork on it that is reveresed. The main difference to your photo is that it was designed like that, but when people see it they always point out that I have it on back to front :roll:

    I bet the owner of that bike is an expert at "stoppies"! :D
