You rock dude! If I had a heart attack and bypass I would probably be hiding under a bed somewhere afraid to leave the house, forget about riding MTB. Good luck!
Might as well throw my own in here. First is the Hardrock:
I've added a Reba Team, Juicy 5's, X0 rear derailleur, CK headset, Shimano PD-M540's, and Easton CNT riser bar. This bike usually makes its appearance when the trail goes straight up or I know that it's going to be super swampy, hence the ultra chic fenders.
This is the sweetest ride I've ever had. Don't ever let anyone sell the Lefty short. This bike rides like it's on rails and has enough clearance under the bottom bracket that clearing obstacles is a breeze. The Prophet is a heck of a bike. Except for Kenda Nevegal's and a 185mm rotor this bike is bone stock.
Not a mountain bike but since I started riding this I am much faster on my mountain bikes and can climb much, much better. I'm telling you, wanna be a stronger rider? Get a road bike and ride the crap out of it. I commute daily when the weather cooperates (35 miles round trip), at night so I keep the NiteRider Firestorm HID mounted on here unless I'm doing a night mountain bike ride. With a carbon fiber frame, bars, and fork this beauty comes in at almost exactly 18.0lbs, minus the lighting.
Anyway, there they are.
