Love the look of the V10 carbon but would never have one, too much bike for me. I would really like a Bottlerocket or a Bolt, something shorter travel and burly! Also really like the look of the Dartmoor Wish (or is it the shine?) and that Soda.

We are talking dream bikes so i'm going to say this carbon s works team replica currently floats my boat (the matching enduro would be nice too!)

Tom
I'm with you on that but apart from the Absolute the BBs still look high.
That is my particular thing with gravity bikes but it is because I am short!

I'm more into the jump/freeride side of DH so shorter wheelbase/travel and slightly higher bb seems better for that sort of thing!

I know a guy that has one of those carbon Lahar bikes actually, and he has been tormented constantly ever since getting it... It looks part way between a leaf-blower and a stick insect eating a grape.

Tony, on your pinkbike page, right click on the image, then click 'properties' you will then get a box that gives you a URL ending in .jpg. Copy that.

Then on here type [img] then paste the .jpg URL then end it with [/img]

If it still won't work, well, just step away from da interwebz.

Skidareforkids, I've heard tons of horror stories about lahars, and would never recommend anyone bought one (I wouldn't get one to ride it) but, I just want one!

It's only 3lb heavier than my Pitch! And I reckon there's still a few places you could save a load of weight without getting silly (either weak or expensive), those wheels for a start, bars, gips, tyres?

Retro awesomeness, I'd love to get the pitch done in the same colours.
