Skinny Booda is my latest creation. It's the lightest Purgatory bike to date, clocking in with an AM/FR build @ 31.7lbs (~9.1lbs frame weight including rear axle, front and rear cogs, and derailleur).

Set up with 170mm front and rear travel, Skinny Booda can pretty much do anything you want. A dual chain setup about the main pivot doesn't pull on the custom derailleur at all, and eliminates 100% of pedal feedback. 5 cogs tuneable between 28 and 12 teeth give just enough to climb and dh without all the extra in between. The front cogs can be tuned in as well.

The derailleur is fully re-buildable and pivots on a total of 8 bearings. Not only does the derailleur have a very strong tension spring, the linkage is horizontal and opposite of suspension movement. This makes the bike EXTREMELY quiet. The derailleur is also about the same height as an 8" disc rotor, so it's very unlikely to get hit or damaged. Get enlightened... Skinny Booda. Yes, eye no how too speel :)
