I got quite excited because it said £ 0.00, which seemed very reasonable but then, tucked away, I saw "Call for price", which looked much less attractive.

It's certainly the best looking Mondraker, but that's not the sort of consolation prize you'd put up on your fireplace.

Mmm. Something very right about these

I almost bought one of these this year:

All it needs is a GSXR1100 engine and a pair of useless headlights.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! You're all wrong!

In fact, the best looking downhill bike of all time [i]was[/i] my Intense 951, until this year. Until 'that' 951 Evo, with the Emerald forks:

Dribble...

I really liked the old Summum, and the new one's alright.

But I have to agree on the Intense 951 (not sure about the Hulk fork though), it's a beautifully proportioned machine.

Is that insulting the Mondraker or just damming with fait praise?

Tomac 204 Magnum (in red) with a set of Dorados

as long as it's a proper Lawwill one 😉

but I'd vote for Nico/AnneC's 98-99 Sunn Radical

Of course it'd be a Lawill one. Just like my old one... I'd love to have that hanging on the wall somewhere... Might have to track one down.

Prefer the more recent Sunn Radicals- not exactly exciting looking but, well, just [i]bikey[/i]. Which is good.

Did someone say Tomac?

Although I've also always had a soft spot for old Lawwill Yeti's.

The 26" Wilson is great looking IMO. Not as keen on the new one, proportions just don't seem quite as right

The Wilson was probably quite nice til they left it too close to a radiator and it melted

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." - Charles Caleb Colton

There's good reason why pretty much every BSO shares it's silouette with either an M1, Palmers Spesh or the Trek Y-frames.

Although in the Trek's case it was probably because it cost more than the Moon, not because it was any good.

its either (a) turned into ugliest DH bike of all time (b) people are being sarcastic or (c) you all have abysmal taste!

its Intense M9 or 951. Or Honda

What about the M9 Lotus factory custom job? I've got a photo on my PC but can't load it

Is that demo photoshop gone wrong or is the shock really on one side?
