What is your dream bike?
If you could have any bike, what would it be? Either custom, or already assembled.
For me, it would be a Specialized Epic S-Works.

I don't have an ideal bike. I have several I would like. None of the new virtual pivot bike apeal to me in the least (vp or demo (which is a modified 4bar I know 
))
Probably the new ironhorse dh bike. But even then I would drop that in a heart beat if something with a horst link came along that was a good price, light and strong. And I really love my bighit. Maybe a big link for it. eh who knows. I don't go with trends much. I like what continues to work well.

I own my dream bike. There's a few things I'd switch out, but as a whole.. the part that counts.... the frame... of my dreams is in my hands.

The new Da Bomb Projectile looks nice. 10inch of travel with a horst link! 
I'd put a 888, X.0/9 drivetrain, hope hydro disc brakes and any other crazy DH stuff that I can think of.

I'd build up a custom x-c bike starting with a Nicolai Helius CC frame. Fork would be a Look Fournales. It would be ungodly sweet.

In fact, we have some friends who did a photo shoot a few years back at a bmx track for an off-road tandem review and on the last jump of the day -- the money shot that made it in the mag attached below -- they augered in on the landing and sent Greg (the magazine editor & the guy on the back of the tandem) to the hospital with a broken collar bone. We use a negative of that photo as part of the banner on our off-road tandem enthusiast's discussion forum.
