I'd like an AM bike with 140/150 mm travel front and back with lock out suspension on the handlebar. The Scott Spark is close but needed more travel. Guess I'll have to buy a tallboy and fit lockout to the shocks. Unless anybody has better idea?
Edit: it's needs to climb!

A titanium version of my 1st generation Specialized Langster:

Straight blade carbon fork and hydraulic disc brakes. Tiny little discs with full internal hose routing and an internal hydraulic reservoir - inside the stem or something.
Also no rack mounts, only one set of bottle boss bolts, no cable stops. Super clean lines, all in raw Ti with black carbon forks. Yum.
Belt drive Alfine, properly sealed, with close ratios for winter road training.
A Cotic Soul or 26er Simple in 21", please. A 19" is just not large enough.

I'd love to see a carbon fatbike and more importantly carbon tubeless compatible rims for it.
Low 20 ish lbs with a 1x10 drivetrain at that weight would be freaking awsum.

like this one stu?
medium frame 3.5 lbs!
Sorry forgot to say that i'd like it for less than a grand and without an on one sticker on it. 😆
Tazzy fail by way of no carbon rims. 😛
Even fatbike [b]frames[/b] have no reason to weigh much.
It's all about getting the wheel weight down.
Decent fs, 20 and 24 inch with decent geometry, light but strong 120 ish (air) suspension.
Sort of mini heckler sort of thing.

Plus fat bottom brackets are ugly.Next thing I'm building (well, next after this road frame) is a Hetchins. A 29er MTB Hetchins.
I'd love to see that!
A friend of mine has just finished restoring his Hetchins-work of art.
Zesty 515 would need fork lock out to match!
Carbon Soul in 18"
Polished 953 Solaris (I know they made one and it was a bit flexy but just looked stunning)
Always felt that the Yeti ASR-C and ASR-C5 were as close to perfection as it was possible to get.

Climb setting on a CTD fork should be fine for all but the heaviest and most ungainly pedal mashers.
A full suspension cyclocross bike that can take 2.1 inch tyres. Is there such a thing? Or even a front suspension cross bike that can take larger tyres?

That's called a xc race bike.
There's loads of them about.
But I want drop bars!
My race bike is a Whippet.

Not very difficult to fit a dropbar to an MTB is it ...

No, but heard having disc brakes with STI levers is from my LBS mechanic?
Proper (IMHO) UK AM bike. Progressive 100-125mm out back, 150mm up front. Soul/BFe/Rocket geometry with an all-up weight around 28lbs with a toughish build.
Small size Solaris /Soul 650b for 5'4" people!
Yeti ASR-carbon 29er with integrated seatpost
Santa Cruz TRC with a pretty paint job (same can be said for the Tallboy)
Speedvagen 29er hardtail
Yeti ARC-x with disc brakes
100mm Cotic marathon bike
A stiff road/CX frameset with disc mounts and a 62cm seat tube, 71deg seat angle, 61cm top tube and 74deg head angle. Stick a Headshok in it for bonus marks.
On Ones Burt didn't make the c456. He was flogging Ragleys on here at the time
a 24" wheeled steel frame town hack bike, ie geo not like a jump bike. built as heavy as a Soul or similar; can easy take steps but not for dirt jumps/jumps parks. 3-5 gears light and simple, disc brakes and rigid forks. rag it around town, walk it staight onto the train and takes v. little room. handy. and fun
also +1 for the ragley full sussers!
