Currently have a Spesh S-Works Carbon '08 Enduro, which I'm getting back into riding after a year off and loving it by the way. Built it up to my own spec and will probably do the same again in a year or so if I carry on riding.
If I were to do it right now, I'd be leaning towards an Ibis Mojo HD, or Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon - Mojo slightly ahead at the moment.
So, inspire me with your carbon 5-6" bikes, preferably some self builds too.

Coincidentally I also owned a '08 Enduro SL S-Works prior to this bike...

There is a 2012 S-Works SJ Evo coming out. I've had 3 enduro SL's 2 ali and 1 CF and the SJ evo is a better bike. But there are so many good bikes out there.
