Tins - I would not class those as XC or jay at all....
Filthy - Nice frame and I rather like your dale ๐
I'm REALLY starting to like Cannondales

What are the rules? What is a man bike? I reckon to qualify it needs to have at least one of the following (ideally all):
50mm or shorter stem
A chain device
Big forks (girth or length)- must be thru' axle
Saddle clearly lower than the bars (I'll let Filthy's Rush off 'cause it's sooo pretty)
My username never struck me as being remotely camp until you put those speech marks around it... ๐
I'm not sure if this counts. It's not got those rear suspension thingies or those other geary thingies but it's hard as rock and can be chucked about in gay abandon (not gay though, manly)

Hmmm, probably rising to the cleverly set bait here, but have any of you tried riding the xc race course at Fort william. On a xc race Bike. If not try that, before claiming that you need a 50mm stem, a chain device and 7 inches of travel to be a man.
ANyway, sadly no pics, but my 'man bikes' so far have been -
Spesh big hit, Intense M1, 2 gt dhi's and i now have a marin quake frame waiting to be built up...
Ha HA! Righto - reintroducing: HMS Norco, The Death Barge, "It's like riding a frikkin' cow", "you'll have to lift it, I can't" "650lbs? You fat sod"...
and I might actually start riding it again soon, having made it slightly lighter since the pic but retained the same bovine handling characteristics. Yay!

Usually men who think big bikes/cars make them "manly" have something to compensate for ๐
I drive a Jazz ๐
An 8inch cock is a cross to bear ๐
Oooh some of those would look fab hanging of the back of a hunky black Wrangler Jeep.
These are some of the gayest bikes I've ever seen
....and all so clean too.
A man's bike is a muddy bike.
That would have been more provocative if you'd dared to say that yesterday when all the owners of said bikes were still on the forum.
You can clearly see mine is still wet after a good clean after being very dirty ๐ฏ

xc back wheel on and saddle at unmanly height. should qualify as a manbike in my opinion, but i do ride it like a timid girlchild.
