Note the different angles of the shock absorbers between the genuine Kramer and the Craiglist bike. To me it's seem that the geometry of the Craiglist bike would tend to bend the shocks on the swingarms up movement. The real Kramer cantilever shock mount is higher and would push the shock instead of "bending" it.
This is the one I was referring to Firko but I think we've already figured its not a Kramer
