What's this, shaft-drive? Or is it just missing the chain/belt to look sexier for the pic? Interesting suspension too.

Not sure, still trying to figure its drivetrain out.

It's definitely a shaft-drive. Check below, they either run the drive shaft through the chain stay or the chain stay is the drive shaft.

i like this pic, though it brings back some memories of my sister and me playing bike mechanic and I decided to find out what would happen if i spin the chain around really fast, and then stick my finger in there. :oops:

Subbuteo shouldn’t be popular. It wasn’t cool even when it was invented. The brainchild of a Tunbridge Wells ornithologist in 1946, it was named after the Latin term for a type of falcon. The uncoolest name for the uncoolest game from the world’s uncoolest town. And inside the box? Buttons, cardboard, wire and a stick of chalk with which to draw your pitch. It was a grimly austere hobby for a grimly austere age.

Turns out there was only $500 and you could only use your feet...

Was going to say -pretty sure my Ranger could have freed up some of that cash

Clearly someone saw "3M" and thought; "must be 3 million dosh." Would be very naive to think that someone would risk putting so much cash out in the open.

It is actually very disappointing- they had a security guard around to check that you only used your feet and only top layer was actually money, the rest was fake and if you did break it with your feet by some miracle then you didn't even get to keep it.

I think companies have become scared of doing big things like this as there are some very clever people out there who will make them pay.
