the way norco does this is clever - still only one swingarm mold, but the effective rear center is altered by changing the pivot to bb distance in the front triangle. not sure why everyone doesn't do something similar. but yeah - using a fixed rear center to cover a 3" range of reach is just sub optimal - esp for a frameset approaching $5k (!) cad.
