Don't worry, it's not some £50 cheap Tai Azonic copy from the 80's... I can't tell the brand name on the frame. Any ideas what thisis?

    Just what I was envisaging!

    You won't infringe the patent if you don't try and sell it, only build for yourself!

    Whoa, I haven't said I'd patent my ideas, I don't think i'm doing anything patentable. I'd spotted the Lawill similarity too, I'll have to look into it to see if there's any clashes, though my current design uses short linkages, not full length ones. Thanks for the link, it actually looks like a great machine now I can see a bit more of it!

    do you have a linkage file yet? bung it in a mail and i will give it a once over FOC. as i will have a bit of spare time as DREs are on hols and waiting other designers to finish bits till i can go mad on my stuff.

    also how much travel are you wanting and how long are the links?

    pm'ed. I'm considering a design with adjustable travel on the frame - 180/150. See what you think.

    Ahem, look back up, and stay on topic. No personal issues here please.
