The Spindrift appears to be going the way of the hugene, the shock being mounted in front of the seat tube.

I have to disagree. The new Tyee is a nice bike. Let's see how the Spindrift will look like.
One thing's for sure: They have a winning business model.

I'm not sure it was posted before, but here's a better photo of the new cube dh bike they've been using since this winter. Looks nicer than I thought.

Saw this while window shopping for RD hangers. It's an interesting design, and, considering it's a catalog frame, has quite a few numbers on the geo chart that are quite progressive.

Shock size: 185x55 (trunnion - 160mm travel)
Max tire size: 29x2.5

Looks very nice compared to other Chinese open mold frames.
Do you know who makes them ?
This was on Light Bicycles website but has since been removed. Not sure if it's still going into production.
