1992 Mantis Pro Floater:

This particular bike has had the lower swing arm replaced with the newer style.  The original would have been round tubing instead of the square tubing this bike.  The Pro Floater was one of the earlier FS designs, from a smaller maker, and it stayed around relatively unchanged for about 7 years which is unusually long for an FS bike.  May be due to the basic soundness and simplicity of the design?
