Check out this sweet bike from GT. This appears to be a full suspension BMX bike! I couldn't find any more information about it, but here are a bunch of pictures:
Check out the innovative chain tensioner! With the right clamp design, this could be a cool tensioner for a single speed. It's interesting to note that this would have to go on the lower (return) of the chain. It would have to run with a pretty large chainring for the chain to clear the tensioner.
Here is where the shock should go, but it is not attached. I would have liked to see how it was meant to be mounted. It's also interesting that it has a bit of a camming motion.
This reminds me that GT has always had a thing for overly complicated suspension systems:
That's about it for this bike. Keep an eye out for even weirder bikes, after all it's weird bike season.
