ok. so what if a company did their homework on how to make a bike be both.(not at the same time of course). i have a friend with a DOC and i was lookin at his dropouts. i came up with an idea. if they drilled out the frame for a bmx axle and spaced it like a bmx bike and changed a little bit of geometry. Then for a mountain bike u have a bigger beefyer black piece.(if u didnt figure this out already i dont know what it is called) that would have hte spacing for a normal 12x135 mountain bike wheel. then if u threw a 80-100mm fork on it it would be a mountain bike. just a thought.

I'm sure it could be done - other than possibly looking a little goofy and being kinda weighty.
You'd have to take some time to fine-tune the geo though, find a certain headangle that wouldn't suck having either a 26" wheel and an 80mm fork under it, or a straight up 20" wheel bmx fork under it.
How short you go in the seattube and overall chainstay length would be some other considerations. Theoretically riding a slammed 20" wheel would leave you with at least 3" of chainstay hanging out behind the axle as opposed to the usual 1/2" - 1" of the like, so pegging and grinding the beast might not be the best idea when it's in BMX mode.
So, yes, it could be done and is kind of a neat concept, but I've always believed that a tool designed for everything is not as excellent as a tool designed for one job and one job alone.
