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.

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.

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.

Until today, I only rode road bikes and commuted to work. But I needed to keep up with my friends who had transitioned to MTB. So I bought this bike on ebay and baptized it today on my first ever MTB ride. This is a crazy sport, so many challenges and skills to learn, so much fun to bomb down the single track!

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