i remember all of them on the scene in MI...
Almost sad to see it so bastardized from the original conception, but hey - at least it is still on the road unlike the rest of the snapped cables and worn out pivot ones out there.

Was this a local Michigan phenomenon? I last saw a Slingshot when riding the MTB loop at Yankee Springs Rec Area south of Grand Rapids in 1996. I couldn't imagine riding one on New England terrain. A quick search shows they are still building these things.
I definitely remember these from back in Michigan. When I rode for UM, they sponsored us and a few team members actually bought one. I still have the jersey w/ the slingshot logo to prove it, too. I guess I didn't know that it was a Michigan thing, and not a mid-90s thing...
