Serial # SS22335
22 1/4" seat tube - 23 1/4" top tube

1st generation frames were in-house Mantis production - rare and sought-after vintage MTB

The Mantis Pro-Floater was one of the first full suspension frames that actually worked.
Featured a MacPherson strut suspension directly driving a Noleen coil shock with hydraulic damping, resulting in less than 3 inches of travel.  
The Pro-Floater design leveraged heavily from the XCR utilizing a similar oversize 6061 main triangle with a bent top tube this time, allowing for the MacPherson strut rear end to be mounted in line with the top tube keeping loads in line with the column. Richard Cunningham honed what he believed to be the ideal off road geometry for both high speed stability and neutral handing and employed that on the Pro-Floater which had a 70.5 degree head tube and a somewhat relaxed 73 degree seat tube angle. The reviews were nothing short of effusive with words like “revelation” and “mythical”
