An old design, haven’t seen that model for a few decades 😃

The first Whyte bike

 

[Yellow Saddle]

I can feel the 5mm play in every single pivot all the way from here. Shake it by the saddle and it'll rattle like a skeleton.

Aye, for 2 or 3 minutes they worked really well.

Clever front end with inherent anti dive and less negative effect on wheelbase and geometry when compressed, but hampered by fragile bearings and a relatively crude cantilever rear that's as basic as the front was sophisticated.

All the pivots are fine, it's sat unused for a good many years.

I was thinking that too...

I remember seeing a rider on one back in the day. It looked an intriguing design but even his fairly new bike was rattling as he approached!

I saw a one of these a couple of years ago at Sherwood Pines. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen.
