S'funny that. Sometimes you think a thread will be packed and others obviosuly dont agree!!
If you really want to learn a SHITload about bike chassis design and be blinded by the shear knowledge some guys have check out the mc-chassis list on Yahoo groups...
Really amazing guys who just go and discuss and then build some amazing sounding stuff.
Also check out these guys

Suspension Education
So, tonight I stumbled across The Suspension Bible, http://www.carbibles.com/suspension_bible_bikes.html
This is one of the most educational and interesting things I have ever read and attempted to understand. I highly recommend reading it from top to bottom.
AND, once you get to the bottom, you will have learned (more) about non-telescoping style front suspension. There is a link there pointing to Norman Hossack's website, the man who invented what I may believe could be one of the most innovative frame/suspension combos in history. http://www.hossack-design.co.uk/
Kind of too bad how things have wound up for him, I think. I'm realizing that 99% of us are riding on what should eventually be an obsolete setup.
Regardless, a great read. I urge you to check it out and let's talk about it.
