intense spider comp 29er.
1*10 xtr, roval carbon wheels, now running x-fusion trace 34mm forks.
A Soul with slx? Nice but hardly super...
What's the cassette on that Scalpel? Is it a Recon or sommat, looks different to a normal one.
Has to be said I do like that liteville - love how they've made it look like a hard tail too...
Njee, you wouldn't approve. It's a Red 11-28 🙂
I did have a 32 xx but never really used the top two ratios. For where I ride, this is perfect.
£4500 ??!!! You could buy a car for that !!
Njee, you wouldn't approve. It's a Red 11-28
Don't not approve, just not sommat I'd do, would find it too limiting. If it works for you...
What size ring?
My bike retailed at £4k (but didn't cost me that to build), has recently had over a grand spent on it, is carbon, but nooo way would I class it as a superbike. Nice yes, super no.
It has some XT on it and a big S on the headtube for a start!
I posted this on the other thread too. Special edition colour, one of only three in the country according to the importer 8) I'd say it ticks all the boxes. The picture doesn't really do it justice, orange with blue bits (bars, pedals, hubs etc) looks absolutely pimp. Only been out on it a couple of times so far, but it rides pretty nicely too 😀

Does it make children cry though?
Ellsworths should be barred from this thread for being so bloody ugly....they look like a badly done Kona Dawg, hideous.
Some awesome bikes here, but if it was my money I'd go for
Dirtyrider's tallboy
Womps's Ghost
Simonjj's covert
And if I've got some money left over...
Tazzymtb's ti singlespeed
Jameso's single speed

yeh they are a bit like a gumpert, ugly as sin but super light, super fast and Mine was a shite load better than my 5 on the technical stuff.
Santa Cruz Blur LTc for me!

Try again!
If your bike has XT on it, it isn't a superbike.
Currently a 36 renthal
You're a stronger man than me!
Some nice bikes here, Dirtyrider's Tallboy probably my number 1.
Flange - where's your Niner?!
Not a specific stipulation, but implicit IMO.
Yeah, to be a true 'superbike' I'd want to see XX1, carbon wheels, ti bolts throughout etc. No expense spared basically
More money does not always make a better bike ;
For me I can't see why I'd want carbon rims over my arch
I'm light so arch are plenty stiff enough for me
But yes despite only being an enduro I have been worshiping all things weight weenies -ti bolts road saddle etc etc

I think you're missing the point of this thread... 😛
Is a " super bike " not the best bike rather than most costly
It's about the time and care to build and choose not just cost
But have to agree no place for xt
on and on - that scapel is lovely, for some reason though they scare the sh1t out of me 🙄
For me I can't see why I'd want carbon rims over my arch
Whilst I wouldn't spend Enve money I would definitely get some Light Bicycle ones or sommat.
Here's mine, SRAM x0, xt brakes arch flow rims on hope hubs. I'm getting used to it but it is solid.

Soz
I really really want to like Santa Cruz but my OCD wont let me see past the cable management
Certainly a candidate for 1x10 and a Stealth Reverb!
My Bronson. Not only descends well but a brilliant climber too, and it's reasonably light. You can tell I'm a bit of a Hope fan

Agreed, does the carbon tallboy have stealth routing though ?
