For me it's a monstercross 29er
That's all I hope 😛
You?
Rigid steel single ringed 29'er
I'd settle for being able to ride the ones I've got.
I'm thinking of building a light weight fatbike to replace my not so light weight fatbike.
Lightweight race hardtail with a mix of old and new bits.
Currently pondering either 100mm or rigid carbon forks, first race is end of feb so really need it done by jan so I can get used to riding it.
Finally get my new PA frame built up, and get a commie meta sl
Ti Fatbike mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
2x10 on my 575 and hoping to ride it a lot more!
Oh aye, sorting the hose routing on my new reverb too- not much compared to the above posts!
2012 was the year of expansion for me - 2013 is all about riding them all 🙂
Cotic Soul on Fox 32's with a mix of new n old parts! From what I have read from Soul owners I will be getting read of the FS 🙂
I've recently picked up an 05 lava dome - mint condition - am in the process of putting discs on it, 1x9, bit of carbon, getting my now reduced travel floats fixed up and plan to 650b it. just waiting for superstar to do some wheel deals !
Long travel 29er...though needs to wait till I sell my el guapo!
Just this week got the resprayed frame back.
Me and my 11 year old are rebuilding my old Klein.
Purpose 1: To give him a mechanical appreciation.
2. He's now big enough to ride it
3. (Shh!) So I can get back out on it...
Not a bike, but i'm for finishing off this little project. It should have been built by now, but my injury has prevented me from riding/building for most of 2012. Hoping 2013 will be better.

Colnago Master 30th in Mapei blue. Old School steel. Retro NOS Campagnolo Record parts. Can't wait!
And, like many, get out and ride the ones I have more.
29er Hetchins MTB.
Probably the new frame Cotic are planning, the mini Rocket? Sounds like it'll be ideal for me!
Cotic bfe and ride a lot more as have been very busy being lazy this year.
To extend air supply at herts with 2 more gaps and add more berms too 🙂
My Wife has contributed towards my Xmas pressie, a Kinesis Pro 6 frameset. Time to save for the rest! 😀
Carbon Nomad on its way in January to compliment all the new components I've acquired this last year...
Transition Bandit, waiting for the call that I can pick it up so it might sneak in as a late 2012 build if that's sooner rather than later. Trying to decide on whether to incur further wrath by getting a reverb too.
cheap build DH bike, Tall boy LTc , jump bike
Probably going to rebuild my Five, back to Halifax for paint of undecided colour, then Bos front and back.
New road bike in time for racing. Sub 800g frame, with ultegra and dura ace. Maybe a new bmx too.
Just in the middle of finishing my build which is On-one Scandal 29er with custom paint job. It's to be a rigid singlespeed which I'm going to use for xc racing and doing the Kielder 100 on. You can see pics on my blog.

Absolutely nowt.
Though, to be fair there's a reasonable chance the Roadrat'll go, finding it hard to get it fitting right (or rather, it fits right, but I don't fit it- I seem to be funny shaped)
Likely to switch the Soda to 2x9 or maybe 2x10 though and might pick up a cheap Sid for it as well (rigid just now)
I want to build a 4x bike, not really sure why but i like the look of the Rose one in this months MBUK, Just going to buy a frame and swap over parts from other bikes when i feel like using it.
Just finished a new singular swift build. Hoping to follow up with dn osprey roadie by the spring.
Once I sell the Spark and Scion I'll be looking at building up a light, possibly carbon, 29er.
I fancy dabbling with a 29er, possibly based around one of these from eBay:

pipedream sirius / Xtracycle longtail for child ferrying duties. Build just started and should be finished early jan.
just ordered a bfe for January and a new road bike in the Spring 🙂
No new bikes - have 3 part built (One mtb & two vintage road bikes) to finish off. This year has een a bad year for riding so hope to just get out and ride more.
Stainless steel rigid 29er, kind of.
Saving up hard for a little trip away to bring back an enduro frame
Problem is not sure i will have the funds to Finnish it before next winter , but I so want it
Have three bikes that I'm really happy with spec wise, so it'll be a new frame for one of them and transfer the parts.
Have narrowed it down to a Transition Covert carbon, Spicy 916, Mojo HD, Nicolai Ion 16, Ion 18, Demo 8, Wilson, Pivot Phoenix, ASR-5, TRc, or maybe a Bandit.
Got the Whyte coming early in the year, and have already planned a couple of upgrades to that, which means some stock parts become free... so I am looking into what hardtail framesets are about that are 29er and 142x12mm rear axel compatible to make use of the forks and wheels 😉
There may also be a Cube for someone else in the household 😉
No bike plans for me.
Just going to be building a garden.
I will mostly start the year building my wrist back up to pre surgery levels of flexibility and possibly chopping the Mojo SL frame in for an HD
OOh do it. I love mine.
I really want to rationalise my bikes next year but can't decide what to do. I am thinking of getting my Mk 1 Dialled Alpine resprayed and putting a lighter fork on it. Might sell my Soul, or might sell both the Alpine and the Soul and get a 853 Prince Albert or might wait until the Long Travel PA comes out. But then there's also the Rocket of one sort or another nagging at me. All of this, of course, assumes I even manage to get out and ride enough to justify any of the above!!!
Nothing. Ride my rocket loads until ppds. Then try not to spang myself too badly in the alps. Unless the call of the Solaris is too strong.
Cheap fixie for winter training. Need to up my strength on the climbs. Also fancy riding a bike I'm not worried about getting covered in filth.
road bike for me....i have an orange 5 & NP scalp for all my mtb needs.
Might go back to a singlespeed road bike, really like the surly crosscheck but want the same features in something alu i think!
I'd sooner spend the cash on a mega tour somewhere than on another bike. That said, if a medium/large Salsa Fargo appeared on the classifieds I'd be tempted to transfer the bits over from my On One TiCX for some longer off road tours, maybe even the Great Divide.
Time to replace my sold road rat, been missing it this year. Rosebikes cx disc looks a likely contender. New wheels for the 29r.
Hopefully lots of IKEA furniture, provided I saved enough to buy my a flat.
Just purchased a cheap Fire eye frame off crc and some other bits from classifieds so just wheels/brakes and finishing kit and i'm back on the trails after thieving scum popped in for a brief and unwelcome visit.
I may go 2x10 on my Solaris and I keep thinking I need a full sus bike which in turn will make me go to the Lakes more but in reality we need a new bathroom and I'm a bit pussy whipped at the moment.
First build is a ritchey road logic triple butted steel road bike. But that might start on Thursday this week. I have been on the look out for a cool quality steel frame for a few years, I just don't want carbon, or alloy. So I am really rather excited about this.

And towards the end of January it will be the surly krampus. Great big wheels for crushing anything less significant than led zeppelin

Where'd you source the Ritchey frame Charlie? Very cool
I'd say no plans. But have a frame in the underground just beging to be built up!
Just need to get out and ride more. Built three bikes this year and they are proving to be a little underused - must justify their existence!! 😉
Ben.... From my shop via the ritchey importer, they called me Friday morning to say they have landed in the uk, knowing I am a sucker for such lovely things, so I pondered for about an hour and went for it. After all it is Christmas, and it's not a whole new bike, so mrs bikemonger may not notice.
More info, and a few quid off here.... http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/ritchey-wcs-road-logic-frameset-3394-p.asp
It's £900 with carbon fork and headset. Right now all sizes are in stock, or will be next week.
I am building it with the American classic wheels, 105, and salsa/ritchey parts off my kona honky. The stem and post are a gloss red, not sure if they will look right on this black frame?
I am going to use it to visit the best cafes within a 60 mile radius, so 100 plus mile days out. I live on the coast so that narrows it down a bit. But that Hugh fermley whittlingstall does some great food in Axminster.
This is the stock picture, but I think the deep section rims are a bit too chunky for the skinny tubes. No doubt wonderful rims, but too tech for me.

Just got to find a few thousand pounds...
I'm happy enough with my MTBs at the minute I think I'm going to be taking as many parts from my current road bike to build up an all seasons disc braked, commuter/tourer/weekend pootler...
I'm aiming to build up a HT again with bits from the shed, hopefully a secondhand Soul.
I've ridden my one MTB lots this year, so feel I deserve to be a two bike man again!
I've been toying with the idea of trading my touring bike in for something with discs and room for bigger tyres.
I like the the Salsa Vaya.
Cotic Soul build for me. Frame is ordered and I've got the fork already (RS Reba RLT Dual Air 120 mm) but the rest yet to buy - I've got the component list together so will go on a spending spree in the New Year. This will be my first build - can't wait......
Damn you Charlie! 40 in 3 months, no present to self decided and of an age where Ritchey=want, do you take credit cards?
Ooh, that Ritchey Logic looks nice!
MODS - I have a request from my bank for you to remove the pictures of said Ritchey road bike. 😐
Return the Dekerf to a rideable state. Retro or everyday theme as yet undecided. Get the fixie 96er together. Retrieve bits pinched from the SS and get that rolling again. Then sell/bin all the leftover parts.
Ben I take cards, you can order it online now.
I like your thinking.. So. I am getting this frame because I forgot to get myself a present for my 40th earlier this yeah. Or did i forget? oh well i have forgotten if I forgot, and that's some sort of double negative which makes it true. Thanks.
Cotic Soul! Already put some miles on it, currently running single speed (38t /17t) until I get fitter (or fed up with walking up really steep stuff), then it's going 2 x 10. Love it. 😀

Ben, don't fall for Charlie's snake-eyed marketing, you know you really want the Seven and the Frame is only £4000 more than the Ritchie 😯 (or you could have the whole bike for just under £10,000...) 😆
As an exercise in restraint, I'll be attempting a pub bike build (and also have a clear out of bits in the process)
Soul looks great in white, Chives. Haven't seen one in white before. Mine's going to be orange...... 😀
psling, What I really want is a stainless steel Ricky Feather but a point comes (at 40) where you can afford what you wanted at 20 and that be a Ritchey 😀
Savings: Christmas, as usual, has bent me over and dry bummed me
Wheels. I've got a pair of retro Salsa rims (Thanks to my benefactor, you know who you are! 🙂 ) and an XT M737 rear hub..... Just need the front hub to match (Email in profile!) and i'm away!
New enduro race bike and a Cotic BFe built up with most of the parts from my Spicy.
a cheap (i hope) indestructable uplift bike.
got the wheels and brakeset so far......need some inspiration for the rest.
I'm kinda justifying my plans with 2013 heralding my 50th....
It will be a 650b Morewood Zula with a Lefty, sram x-9, slx brakes and much fun riding it 😀
The girlfriend has vetoed any extra bikes so the current commuter is going as I need to build a Track bike, Commuter, TT bike, road bike and fixed CX bike in one, all built around a Dolan Pre Cursa frame and a selection of different forks, wheels, bars and gear ratios.
Going to be a bit of jack of all trades master of none but as long as it's relatively cheap, works well on the track and isn't too uncomfortable on the road I'll be happy.
I may at some point put a suspension fork on the bike, which will come from one of three sources depending on cashflow..
a). pay a tuning company to refurb the old revelation that's currently in service on a very part time basis on mrs yunki's little bike..
b). pick up a nice bolt through Reba or SID from the classifieds
c). treat myself to something new
The Soul is absolutely ace with a carbon fork, but I can't be trusted to ride within it's limitations and it will end in tears eventually
I haven't built a bike since April 2011 and so in usual circumstances I would be thinking about a change but happy with my lot at the moment and can't think of what I would change that would make meaningful advantages (I know that is not the point)
Instead I am going to spend more on going places to ride and uplift days and perhaps some more coaching.
I'll be getting Cy's/Cotic's new "baby" Rocket the second it arrives next year and pimping it as far as i can feasibly afford, which may mean another few months living off a self imposed £25/week allowance for food n' drink.
What is this baby rocket I keep hearing about. Loved the look of the Rocket but what would I use it for, already have enduro/aggro bikes in the house but a shorter travel fast aggro bike built light might tempt.
Cy n' Paul have well developed plans underway to introduce a shorter travel Rocket, a more "UK trail friendly" 120mm to 140mm all day trail conquering machine built out of steel tubing!....sign me up right now.
I don't like plastic bikes nor alloy bikes as they all look like ugly hydroformed/moulded pigs, but that's just my opinion and others may disagree.
