Sorry mate. No offence intended. Do you have a snakepost?
The Mission Pulse my mate had seemed like a solid bike.
But as I said, in amongst the sealed hub 48's, gyro and pegs all round, there were some odd components - snakepost and bear trap pedals.
Needless to say the snakepost bent pretty early on and got discarded. He run the beartraps for years though!
I think the post took a couple of feet-off-the-pedals sketchy landed jumps, and by the nature of its crumple zone design, it gave in.
Having the bend that low down with extra inches of leverage above it invites bending.
The zip posts were ok, for getting your seat further back and out of the way. And by the 90's the seattube/toptube junctions were strong enough to take them.
But a layback on an old school frame, with the thin metal plate round the seattube junction - they were so weak. And having the seat not pushing directly down on the tube, instead trying to flex it back - it was like taking a crow bar to that junction each time you came down hard on the seat.

I think I've got some old Ride mags from the mid 90's with Mission ads in them, I'll scan & post them up if so :daumenhoch:
