Some beautiful machinery in here guys, credits to you all.
These are mine, both pretty much NOT how they left the shop.....
A Giant Yukon FX3, cheap as chips, but a modifiers (me) dream, and a Saracen Ruftrax which I use mostly on the road commute. Only the frame, crank andsaddle remian from the original bike on the Saracen.

Yeah, I found myself riding some rather rugged trails and wishing I had dual suspension. This is still a XC bike with 3.5/3.15 travel, but I'll be testing it on a fun and somewhat technical trail tomorrow.

I'm not too fond of the paint job, but whatever.

2001 K2 Razorback Team... well, at least the frame is. The rest is either parts I bought to build it up or parts I took off a 2000 Rockhopper.

I went to an aerospace welder and got it built up for $20. I feel very confident on it, and it rode great today.

It's called a "pull shock". Looking at the second pic, The mount on the seat tube holds an inner piston in place while the seatstays grip an outter piston and push it into the shock. Really interesting design.

Excellent. Hope it hangs together (though I can't imagine why it would not).

That's a hot looking bike. It is begging to be let loose on real trails, though.

Sweet, another '98 Stumpy in Dew Green. I raced mine in the late 90s in Virginia and Maryland. Mine has since had a make over and is now used for commuting/shopping duty.

Thanks! but no, she will never see "real trails" as replacement parts are very hard to find.
