Guess I'll join in on this... Here's a few pics of my 2005 Giant DH Team. Picked up the frame and built up the rest with parts that I already had. Unfortunately I can't get pics of my other bikes right now. One's here in pieces, the other 2 (Giant Trance X2 and Propel) are both sadly approx 2000 miles away right now

^^ Very cool.

Thanks. I wanted to get a Sun Ringle MODO front wheel for the bike (the Single Track just looks out of place with the huge Stratos S8 fork) but they seem to be impossible to find these days.

Ya, but you'd be wishing for the Singletrack back every time it did a nose-dive off a jump

Haha touche

My new 2014 KHS Flagstaff, got it just after new years. Hell of a step up from my '98 Specialized Rockhopper hardtail.

Still going strong. Seems nowadays I do all my off road riding in the winter.

Cameraphone pic of my Blur TR. Just finished the initial build last week and I still have some tweaking to do. The fork is new, the rest came over from my '04 Blur classic. My gravity dropper is clunking in the mid-position and I'm debating whether to send it in, upgrade to a Reverb Stealth, or just ride the standard post.

The front end is too high but obviously you can't add material back to the steerer tube, so I had to ride it first to be sure of that before cutting further.

To be honest, I'd stick with your GD. There is something to be said for the straightforwardness of a mechanical post. I will keep using my Contact Switch post as long as I can warranty the gas spring; but then it will be on to a GD, Spec. Command Post or and RSP Plummet.

heres my marlin ss converted to 1x10 with shimano zee and raceface nw chainring and evolve crank. next up is brakes and maybe a carbon fork.

Just got this thing up and running again, well mostly up and running. I stole the seat post after breaking the one in my surly karate monkey. Still not really sure wth I'm going to do with it. I put semi-slick tires on it thinking I'd use it for gravel/rail trails but I'll probably end up sticking knobby tires back on it and hitting the trails every now and again. Was my first real mtn bike and I think by now the only original parts are the crank and rear brake.

Off this weekend to see how a 3x3 works

I am itching to hit the trails.

Nothing better than being 10 miles from the nearest neighbor way up in the mountains for the weekend. 3x3 wasnt to shabby.

here is my new bike just got a week ago.can't wait to ride it got snow know. It's a trek 820

orange five pro

Just picked up this puppy today!! so far after riding it home from the LBS just 10 miles, 1st impression..I LIKE IT!!

The workhorse I've been using since September(first real bike). It's the Trek. The Marin is my roommate's.


The new untested bike

I have an itch too.

Here's my Mongoose Ledge 2.1, getting some much needed mud and wear on the new paint. I'd have posted it in builds somewhere, but it's a cheap frame and the only mod I did was file down some spacers to add some bushings. It's "Nighthawk Black Metallic" of Honda origin, and lends to the username.





When this 31lb beast only had 100 miles and was still the original baby poop brown..

Pipedream Sirius 853

NICE! Love that 853 action!

09 Specialized HardRock

This is my long time and rather trustworth XC rig. Slowly putting lighter and better parts on it (only when i really need them). So far it has been fully built up by my own hands; as i dont like other people touching my stuff. Currently working on a 1x10 shimano drivetrain, and new brakes (looking at magura marta sl's)
