I would add a picture of my Mojo G16 to compliment the others but this forum and my flickr do not seem to be on speaking terms anymore
Some of mine. I don’t have pictures of them all.
The bike in this first pic now has reynolds gravel wheels and more gnar tyres.
the habit Black now has its dropper fitted again.
And the synapse now has a matching bottle.
ill add more pics as I find them

If I had to keep just one, then this one for sure. Built like this, 3.0 tyres and a gert big coil fork on the front.
Springy agile Ti goodness, great uphill and down.

Muggomagic how are you finding the new Capra? I’m really tempted by one. How long did shipping take?
It’s bloody good, I love riding it. I’ve got a 2016 stumpjumper which when I bought the Capra I planned on keeping the Capra for enduro races and bike park days but it’s just such a blast I just keep riding it
I placed the order on the Monday evening and it arrived the next Monday.
Before anyone asks - no, I don't drive an Audi but a knackered old Peugeot Van 😉
This is the one that's racking up the miles at the greatest rate at the moment as it's being used as a commuter, it's ace if I'm honest and faster than expected on tarmac although it's considerably more gnarmac.
slowbloke, that's a fine looking bike. Is that a set of Reserve wheels that I spy there...?
Mmmmm.
Sure is daern. The dangers of sitting at home last year with a broken wrist - I ended up spending too much time looking at all the options then ticked all the boxes to cheer myself up!
Excellent plan and from looking at the bike, I can see that it obviously worked 🙂
@slowbloke no Audi here either, just the best bike I’ve ridden. Ironically cheaper than many a Singletrack ride too!
Has to be my T130. Currently one of two in my stable but compared to all the others I've owned it's the one that gets closest to my beloved old Mojo HD in terms of fun and just sheer joy every time I ride it. Yes I wish the seat angle was a smidge steeper and yes it's a little porky and could be lighter, but it's utterly bombproof, ace fun to ride and never fails to put a smile on my face.
@zerolight Another lovely bike there. Once open a time, I used to live in the village next to that distillery and it's been over 25 years since I last saw that sign! Not sure if you're from the same area, but I never did a whole lot of serious mountain biking back in the 1980s and I've always felt that I missed a trick with the hills on my doorstep.
Weirdly small image in first post. Try again.... seems to be related to posting via phone.
has anyone commented that judging by the OP's stem length and saddle position on the seatpost he/she might need the next size up?

I haven't commented on it but it was the first thing I noticed when I first opened the thread. I agree.

The stem is fixed, as it's an integrated carbon stem and bars.
As for the saddle position, I accept the fact that it sits far back on the rails, BUT I have always found myself on the border between two sizes, and my last road bike before this one - a Pinarello - was simply too big. No matter what I did to make it fit (i.e. by getting a shorter stem; by using an 'inline' seatpost and putting the saddle more forward) it just never felt right.
This one, on the other hand, feels perfect. So maybe I could have used the next size up, but I am not sure I would have liked it as much. Indeed, I have never in my life been as happy on a bike.
@daern Grew up in Bishopbriggs. Now live not too far from the start of the WHW and discovered the Dumgoyne Loop a couple years ago when I got properly back into MTB. Wish I’d ridden this stuff 25 years ago. Where are you at now? No longer local?
Get to Da Chopper !!!
It ain't clean, it ain't pretty, the "porch" isn't finished and the back garden/patio is an absolute midden, but after not riding it for years this is rapidly becoming my favourite thing again:
Prettiest bike in here is @daern 's blue Ridley. Wish my Defy looked like that!
Where are you at now? No longer local?
Sadly not, moved down south in the early 90s and only return North of the border for the very occasional holiday these days. Heading up to Kirroughtree area at Easter though, so excited about that!
I also wish that I'd done more exploring as a kid - when you're young you really don't appreciate the glorious trails that are on your doorstep. Do you have a link to that Dumgoyne Loop? I'd be very interested to see it - it might be one for a future excursion!
Absolutely loving my Starling Murmur, best bike I've owned!
