I think this Nicolai frame was called the Nucleon. It is interesting because it was designed around an internally geared hub (A Rohloff Speedhub in this case) that is mounted inside the frame, by running chains from the frame mounted hub, in theory, pedal actions should not affect suspension movement (or something like that). Also notice the Marzocchi Super Monsters and Maxxis Hookworm tires. I guess this bike easily weights 45-50 pounds (or more).
