doesn t matter what it looks like does it work is the question?
why shouldn't it work?
Z1 bomber on front - best fork for saoking up the big steps, heavy but a good'un
as ^^^ mentioned, the rear can flex, can't remember how this manifests itself but I think in certain gears, the chain can rub on the derailleur when pedalling up power due to rear flex.
rear shock has spring instead of elastomer, it can make clunks when unloading; don't think the shock is the best but then this was one of the very first full suspension bike back in mid 90s.
I should really get round to fixing the front fork - seal has gone so getting a bit of oil seapage plus look into fitting a better rear shock, as well as getting some tabs TIG welded for disc brakes .... just don't seem to get round to it (too much time posting on here!! LOL !!).
