Mountain Biking - In your dreams?

Im so bored, so I thought Id start a thread.

State what bike you currently own, then state the dream bike you wish you could have.

I have a trek 930, I wish I could have a trek session 77.

I own a Bruiser 1 with a growing list of mods.

My dream bike would be a loaded Transition Dirtbag or a Banshee Morphine

I forgot, also post pics if you have em.

No, but you could read the most recent responses. This gets done every couple months

I wasn't here last time it was done, is there a problem with me making one? The small amount of bandwidth this topic will take up will most likely not make a difference in its extremely slow loading times :eek:

I have a 2003 Norco Sasquatch and it is my dream hardtail, since all the Norco Shore Hardtail frames are pretty much the same every year, and now I can upgrade how I want and make it better than the the top of the line Shore Hardtail.

My dream FS is the Giant Faith 1.

I have an Ellsworth Truth and an Ellsworth Enlightenment.

My dream bike is a Fat Chance "Yo Eddy" in perfect condition with a 1 1/8" head tube and quad butted tubes. I would settle for triple butted tubes though. I have been looking for this frame for close to four years now with very little to no luck. One of these days I will own one though.

rite now i have a Specialized Rockhopper comp i dream about the s-works stumpjumper carbon disc

Want-Litespeed NIOTA Ti, with crossmax xl wheels, 06 sram x0 shifters & rear der, XTR front der, crankset and cassette, Easton ec70 seatpost, fizik alainte seat, easton bar & Stem, juicy 7 brakes, fox 100x forx.

Got: See above.

Got: Specialized SX Trail

Want: Cane Creek Double Barrel shock

Mmm, good taste.

I'm looking for an Eastern Woods Research and probably have about the same chance as you at finding one.

Have: 2005 Kona Blast hardtail

Want: Turner Flux dolled up for racing/leisure XC riding.
Kona Jake the Snake for a road bike.

Be careful with the Aliante saddle on the mountain bike. They don't hold up well, I speak from experience. :o Go with the Aliante on the road and Gobi on the mountain bike.

Mmm, good taste.

Also a great choice, I think we both have about the same chance. I can at least get close though by going with an Independent Fabrication. Most of the people at IF came from Fat Chance / Fat City Cycles.

Current bike (Sun Doubletrack wheelset coming soon and an Avid Juicy 5 up front, as well as new Alivio shifters):

My dream bike would be something along the lines of a Demo 8 or 9 with a 66RC 170mm, Mag 30s, DHX5, Avid Juicy 7s or maybe Hopes, full Diabolus. ;) Maybe an SX Trail? I know not, although a Kona Stinky would do :p :roflmao:.
http://www.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/2006/bikes/05Demo9Pro_d.jpg

Now: Trek 8500 with full XT, Thomson stem/post, Conti tires, Fox 100RLC.
Dream: I dunno. Maybe a carbon HT with XTR and some lighter wheels or a carbon/aluminum FS with 4" travel at each end that actually climbs well and weighs less than 25 lbs.

Now:

Fisher Mt Tam 29er. See sig.

Want:
Honda RN01 as raced by Greg Minaar for DH duty

or

2005 Storck Adrenaline Carbon with Fox 36rc2 fork, Full XO with triggers, Juicy 7 Hydros, Diablous bars, stem, seatpost, etc (you can fill in the rest with your fav stuff, as I am too lazy to write all mine in.)
