Here's mine.
It's a 1998 Trek 8000 with the following mods...
Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork (2000)
SRAM X9 drivetrain (2006)
USE XCR suspension seatpost (2000)
Specialized Rival seat (2007)
Shimano M540 pedals (2006)
Bontrager Race Lite crankset (2006)
I've done downhill, and x-country at Bromont, in Quebec.
Also do alot of bikepaths, which means trying to keep everything as light as possible.
Saddlebags are great to have when doing the bikepaths, but the rack comes off when doing x-country. (so do the sem-slick tires, and these Michelins are put on)
Looks pretty good for a bike with over 9300kms that has seen lots of downhill activity, eh?

rain, rain, go away... but it makes his red tires look so shiny!
Here's mine. I've only just started modifying it, so it's mostly original equipment, save for the clipless pedals and new saddle:

I agree with z415's friend that the fork isn't that great for heavier people, as I'm 240 lbs. and definitely wish the fork was a little better. I have to set the preload basically as stiff as it will go, lest I ride around with a half-compressed fork all the time. I guess it's better than having a cheap RST or Suntour fork though.

Yes I understand what "skeet" means, the verb and the noun. How does such a release of bodily fluids pertain to a bike?

I could be wrong, though.
I'll sneak in a pic of my just completed road bike. Sorry about the bluriness. I wanted to use natural light and not the flash but didn't have a tripod with me.

Let's see. He's a teenage high school boy. Yeah, inanimate objects are probably enough to set him off.

Here's my "rig". It weighs 45lbs and creaks like no other. $75 well spent, I suppose.
