Too much bike washing has rather killed it sadly! That was taken in January too, it looks rather more healthy now. That's the parents place anyway, don't live there any more!

What's meant by best?

Most expensive? Lightest? Best value for money? Hardest used? Cleanest? Dirtiest?

The Ibis loses points for the fugly seatpost but then gets a few bonus points back for being GREEN

my turn

frame : Rocky Mountain Element
fork : Fox vanilla RLCs PUSHed
Shock : Fox Float RPL
Bar / stem : Easton EA70
Headset : hope
BB : Hope ceramic
cranks : M970 XTR
Pedals : Shimano M959
Front mech : Deore (the shame of it!)
Rear mech : M970 XTR
Cassette : XT

Built up to be reliable and go a long way quickly, which it seems to do very nicely thankyou very much. Recent arrival of daughter will preclude any further up-dates so we'll find out how durable all of the able is over the next few years

Yes, in Leeds.

The Mamasita frame was SH. The rest was bought as bits.

God there are some rich people on here.

Daffy - the Ibis looks lovely, but aren't the rims a bit lightweight for that kind of bike. Also, £1700? How?

Nope, Stans rims are good and strong and the suspension takes the sting out of the hits. I'd be more wary of running them on a hardtail.

WRT the price - It's all second hand, bought as parts and built up.

My funds are tiny (as apparently is my knob) but, I'm pretty savvy when sourcing bits.

The home truths about Nick's Epic...

Frame - S-Works Epic - Broken
Forks - Specialized Futureshock E100 - Broken LOADS of times
Shock - Specialized Futureshock - Broken LOADS of times
Crankset - Specialized S-Works BB30, 28/40 with alu bolts - Broken (well, the BB is)
Headset - Cane Creek Integrated - Broken
Cables - Alligator I-links with Power Cordz inners - Keep not working

So super bling not necessarily "better".

Only joking mate - that is a very nice bike, I've been jealous of it for at least 2 years!!
