I like that Marin Klein lovechild.

Shand Hoolie looks nice, and the new Oranges.

Carbon Stache... ditto desirable Trek confusion. Fortunately my boycott of the company will prevent me from getting one.

Liking this, subtle nod to the classic La Via Claire/Mondrian era...

Propain Spindrift. Probably a stupid idea, but very tempted to get one.

That Trek or this Scott

Can't afford either, but the bike industry seems to have caught up with where bikes should be in my head! Huge tyres, DH bike geometry, 5" travel and weighing sod all!

And a Last Fast Forward as the obligatory hardcore HT to complete the fantasy bike shed.

Rumour has it that Specialized are about to unwrap a revised Enduro for 2017 within the next few days...

Needs a black saddle, very classy otherwise.

TBH, and I know it's wrong, but the last few versions (ever since the enduro SL) have all been so good that I really struggle to get excited by a new one?

What's all this guff about the Marin being like an old Klein or MBK? It's like an old Marin! It's not all Zolatone you know! 😆

New Enduro looks nice.

And that's all I'm saying about it for now.

All the Oranges, especially the Five and Alpine. Great bikes now even greater.

The Slash 29er. OK, so it's a rubbish colour but it ticks all my boxes otherwise. And the Rocket Max, I might not have a Cotic any more but I'm still a fanboi

That Trek is stunning, but too short for me in the reach.

I'd love to ride one of these in the 29er set up.....just to see if I could push it enough to make it come alive!

Im liking the new version of my Process, obviously it's got longer and slacker. Purposeful rather than pretty ! Considering a frame swap but then some new forks would be nice !

But wow that new Trek does look nice I too never thought I'd be saying that !

Whyte T130c works, should be picking it up in the next week, getting desperate as I sold mine a month ago, have borrowed a bike on a couple of occasions, but need the gap in the bike garage filling!

Cotic Flare Max. Demo-ing one a week on Friday. If it's a full suss version of my Stache, it's going to be hard to give it back!

That Reign is possibly the best looking 2017 bike I've seen yet.

What the hell is going on with Transition though? Horrible colour schemes (IMO obviously) and an extra 250 quid for the frame with the same geo as last year as far as I can tell, just with a new metric shock so you can't upgrade it. Glad I bought an Airdrop

Every one of those Cotics from the latest mag. The only issue is which colour. Not Yeti blue...

...Proper paintjobs are back.

I have a Raleigh Ravine frameset that colour.

Must be time to build it up...

Oooooohhhh that Reign made me all weak at the knees.

Loved the way my old Trance rode and probably wouldn't do a Reign justice but it does look nice.

445/459mm* in Large, is there much longer apart from the geometron?

*Seems odd that it only changes by 0.5deg between settings, but the reach goes up 15mm

It would be great to see the strive get the sender treatment.

re. the transition, I like the colours, last bike was black so time to brighten it up... the metric shock is a bit of a worry if there are issues, ironically one of the big selling points for this other than the good reviews was the 142 rear axle so that I can use my carbon wheels. But now I will have a new standard shock 😕 That shock and the lyrik is kinda why I went with a 2017, the first ride reviews on it (on a patrol) say it makes a big difference.
