I've got the urge to build a do it all bike again. It will need to be able to do longish xc rides, jumps, uplift days and the yearly trip to the alps. It eeds to pedal and climb well, and descend like a stabbed rat.
Moon on a stick? Maybe, but i'm tempted to have another go at building one.
What have you got that does it all?

My Epiphany sub 25lb of 5.25 inch boing and fun. It was such a good bike.

I do't jump, so it doesn't jump either, but I'm pretty sure it can.

Not the fastest climber ever, but pretty good considering. Rode XC on it winter and spring in southern france no problem and its pretty sorted for the gravity stuff.

To much for the odd trail centre I do, but for riding in the lakes it's bob on. 😀

Overkill for a lot of the UK, but not exactly a handycap even on the flat bits 😉

Now with added Reverb, Charge Spoon freebie saddle, Easton Havoc bars dork disc removed (Pic taken in the first couple of weeks of owning). Switch between the Times and flats, depending on how I feel on the day.

It's finished now, and been ridden plenty!
Most fun bike I've had, the meta 5...

Some niceties on show 🙂
I'm yet to see a bike that haven't had it's looks destroyed by mudguards though.

Stumpy Elite. I love it but if your doing more DH / uplift stuff I think the EVO with 150/160 forks would be perfect. I have a DH bike for that stuff.
She's getting old now but has served me well

Ibis Mojo HD - awesome as a single bike solution to all your riding needs (except commuting)
Its changed a little since these photos, it now has a ccdb air, reverb seatpost, easton haven carbon bars, and some hans dampf tyres

This is fairly current.
Depends on your "do it all" I guess, you wouldn't want to go dirtjumping on it and it'd not be the best XC race bike. But it does me well. As happy doing glentress blue or highland xc or a week in the alps or racing dh at fort william.

Not your typical do it all, but I have done it all on this! UK trail centres, DH/FR and natural XC stuff 🙂 Wish I'd kept the Boxxers tbh, they felt way better than the 55s I replaced them with.

In 160 guise.
Just need to swap the RC4 for the shorter RP23. limbo chips, DHF's for Ardents, Reverb for an Easton number, bars for narrower Havens, Lyriks for Revs and dinner plate rotors for smaller ones and it's a fairly light weight mile muncher. Easy peasy.
Haven't bothered doing it since the summer though, still get by.
