That's him holding his art.
Incredible thread, the man himself providing history and technical information on his bikes, with input from other og legends like Charlie Kelly and Fairfax Pat

Love them, what are they? Hahahaha. No, seriously.
Three consecutive models of Amp Research FS (full suspension) designed by Horst Leitner. That Horst link in the rear end was the first step.
The yellow one is absolutely gorgeous
The guy said that the yellow one was a respray, but I'm not upset by it. That disk brake and hub set by Amp is so unbelievably rare though, I don't know how it's possible to find three of them still in the box, with all the literature!

The guy who posted it on another forum just saw it on Facebook, I can inquire about any additional information. Here's the rest of the pictures

In that top picture, the seat looks sorta wonky, off kilter. Could be a sign it's home brewed...
