Haha! As a graphic designer, I'm quite sure the "hidden message" is what the viewer is bringing to that design. Read as, someone has "anal" on their mind and it wasn't the designer. That said, it is the graphic designer's job to vet the design to avoid issues like people who read "anal" in everything.

Likely pareidolia but could be a designer that's trying to be funny. I've designed stuff in the past the looked fine then when I looked at it 24hours later or from a different angle all I saw was a dick or a silhouette of trump screaming. I did a concept art piece of a game concept and in the sky is definitely trump screaming about something and it annoys the hell out of me that it is there in the final approve piece.

You know that thing when you are looking for something and then all of a sudden you see it everywhere, I think Kaine Bockman could just be very horny

Oh, and just so people know (if they don't), tattoo artists who do custom work on you hide words in the design all the time. I've seen some truly gnarly stuff in people's tats and they will NEVER know.

Now...go make your tatted up buddy paranoid. Also, 100% true.

Better shots of the Proto from Commencal.
Looks like a horstlink with 4-bar.

Yes i think so a friend showed me the catalog pictures of the Carbon summum and this was the Color of the top model. May be there will be a mullet bike too like the new alloy summum.

As I understand it, it should be coming out over the summer, but as with some other high pivot bikes in the same category, the supply issues are a thing in this case too (should have been out already).

If you look between the idler and the chainring it looks like there's an extra link there, a bit like the Demo/Enduro linkage.

Looking forward to see the full bike, Commencal does interesting things Smile

Possibly a HP version of the old 4-bar supreme, with the floating shock through the frame, but with a horst link instead of the single pivot. Can't quite make out if that is a shock shaft above the idler in the lower pic...?

If it was a horst link with a pivot that low near the BB, there would be no point for an idler. And Commencal doesn't do horst links.

So what are we speculating, something more like a Devinci Wilson?

I'd say yes, but with a higher main pivot. So something between the Devinci and the Zerode DH bike.

Someone spotted this and posted it on the other site a few days ago. Said the guy did not want to talk about the bike though. Some people have stated it looks like it could be something from Actofive? Definitely has the rear triangle look of the p-train. Other interesting cue is the Limited edition fox 38 w/ pistachio lowers and black stanchions.

It's a Purati, a new brand of titanium bikes based in BC:

Brake caliper looks the same, but the black crank looks a bit thinner to me.
