I like too many bikes. 
I've been looking at the Jamis XLT 3.0, looks like a nice rig. I can't go past the 06 Specialized Enduro Pro though 
Might post some more pics up of some more rigs I like later.

While I love my K2 OzM, the Mantis Screaming V was one bike I highly covetted but never had the pleasure of owning.
Made in 1996, it was one of the first in a short list of thermoplastic CF bikes like my Oz. Designed by Richard Cunningham who also designed the Nishiki Alien and made in very limited numbers by his company, Mantis, it was quite a rare bike that came from a company reknowned for very high performance frames.

This is my favourite. Her name is Ermintrude (because she's a big fat cow), and although she is very reluctant to go up the hills, she really does go for it on the descent.
Beagy
p.s. please don't tell her, but I'm busy building a new bike, an Orange P7 to replace my ageing Orange Evo O2 hardtail. I have a strong feeling that it may become, "The New Best Thing"

And the Nishiki Alien ACX.
I myself had the all-cromoly version of the Alien called the Ariel.
The Ariel pictured above isn't mine. I had given away mine to my brother a while ago. Someone contacted me by email and told me that I was the inspiration for him seeking out one. He then sent me a picture of his bike which is the exact same year, model and colour as mine was.

I have the Aluminum version and I love it. Just couldn't justify the carbon since I don't race.
