1995 Curtlo Action Tec

Nicely made frame, designed around the Action Tec fork.  Since this style of fork puts the "travel" under the head tube it often requires a "V" type frame for stand over clearance.  The fork legs are one piece so there isn't any of the torsional flex found in most suspension forks.  The biggest disadvantage is the need to specifically design the frame for the fork which limits the ability to easily retro-fit a conventional fork.
