"Thats a nice looking Corsair "
Don't worry the beauty of the bike is balanced out perfectly by the owner's ugliness!!

Maverick ML7/5 here too - attracted a lot of attention at Afan last month with most people saying they had heard of them but never had seen one in the flesh.
Still to ride a bike that does everything quite so well!

I agree with crash test....these are all mainly niche bikes that are respected and popular
Now try riding a Claud Butler if you want to see the word 'meh' brought alive in body language. Yes that's right - I got no love, and I'm still bitter.
That Raleigh is more like it. That's minging!

Now I've owned some pretty unpopular, and some would say some "ugly" full suspension bikes in the past (Orange X1, Original 1996 Proflex Animal, Maverick ML7), but that really is an abomination! No wonder you've never sold one!
I bet it does ride well, looks well made, decent 4 bar setup, looks like it should be pretty stiff too... But no way would you see me on one, that is the ugliest frame I think I've ever seen!

Funny that someone should mention a Raleigh Maverick 5 speed. I still have (most) of mine which I owned from new and it now resides in my garage roof! I did fit a swan neck stem and that carries my teeth marks in it from where I was hit by a car and went face first into the stem!
Also got my '91 Fisher Supercal frame with cracked headtube.
My current bikes are Fisher Celerity (1990) which is a SS and a Commencal Normal HT.
On the lookout for something better now as the Commie was a 'get me back into mtbing' purchase.

No pictures I'm afraid, But my first offering is a Roberts' DogsBolx. When it was built in 2001 it was the first dedicated SS DogBolx frame they'd built.
Second offering is a Vicious Cycles Groover (with carbon fibre back-end) one of only two in the UK I think.Posted 2 years ago # -

I've never seen another one of either of these:
Both great bikes - the HCR is now 5 years old and still getting great results. I'd like to know how many podiums it's had over the years!

Dean Colonel Ti hardtail with custom geometry.
I specced it with an unfashionably short wheelbase and steep angles to mimic my much loved and rusted 93 Clockwork. Turns out the geometry is within a gnat's of the new Orange R8 that Chipps liked so much in this month's mag.Posted 2 years ago # -
I've got a Moots hardtail and I've never seen another. It's got 80mm forks and that's even rarer

Not quite sure how many of these are around, but I've recently built back up my 99 ZaskarLE frameset.
Now it has disks the feel and speed is immense.
Far too good for me at the moment, but I'll get there
Have replaced the forks with some black RS Tora solo air things, which are ok but too heavy and spoil the ride somewhat
The RST's are stupid light being only air cartridges, but they are a little twangy and don't really like the abuse the disk gives them.
Cracking bike though.

Cannondales used to look absolutely brilliant, IMHO lost their way style wise recently.
I think the logo change was a bad move.
