Show Us Your Bike…………..;o)

coz its my new toy & its got me up hills that i could never get up on my hardtail.

I love it ’cause it’s a proper little, big bike. Punches well above it’s weight on the rough stuff but jumps and corners like a good’un.

You know, these Kona FS-ers are looking absolutely lovely. they look really right. Hmmmmm

The Genesis…

Couple of components changed since that pic, and about to get the 853 frame swapped out for the very same in Ti! Overall I love it cos it’s simple, handles brilliantly, and is possibly the most reliable bike I’ve ever had… No matter what, it always works!

The Maverick…

Love it cos quite simply I don’t think there is a better “all round” bike out there. I’ve ridden and owned so many different full sus bikes over the years, and come to the conclusion that the Maverick really is the best all rounder out there. It goes uphill like an XC whippet, and descends like a DH demon (shame its owner does neither!). It still amazes me just how good it is every time I ride it.

The Reign X

Now with added KSi900 post for saddle dropability. Love this cos there’s no other long travel bike I’ve ridden that handles as well, or is so versatile. Proper good fun, and a good “UK DH” bike to boot.

The Road bike

Because its fast, and I convinced myself I needed one! I’m promising myself I’m going to ride it more, was going to ride it today actually buy my back has given way!

i love it as it is my first new bike (proper mtb) it gets me up faster and down faster and it sticks out more then me !!!

luke, lapierre’s are very nice too.
i went to look at the 36 equipped spicy in evans.
could be a get well present to my self when i can ride. 😉

ton they are very nice but i do get a lot of funny looks on it as i do look very young!!!! it climbs very well ( alot better then me) and it almost feels part of me on the descents. you are more then welcome to have a go on when u get better although i maybe abit small for you as it is a short ass medium !!!!

Mine is the turner

Got myself my first DH bike 🙂

… to accompany my slightly adjusted everything else bike!:

damn it.

A rediscovered love for a full sus. Had this frame sat in my old man’s garage unused for 5 years+.

Its not the best photo – but it the latest on with all of them in one shot

because it’s under 25lbs of boingly mincing machine which suits my fireroad extreme stylee perfectly.

it does actually go like a very fast thing with rockets on, which is nice 😀

whippet bike that got me back into racing again

Looks well nice Tazzy! I always assumed those Ellsworths were heavy downhiller-type bikes that weren’t able to ride up hill!

First full suss and it has opened my eyes as to how fast a downhill can be munched and spat out.

Being a Gold Fetishist is a registered disability, so I’m told 🙂

For me, this is a keeper. Seriously fun to ride and makes the climbs easier (well a little anyway).

EDIT: Stevo210 – That Cannondale has the tyres on upside down 😥

Your bike rides upside down, is that the new niche?

Caldera[/url] by dancake2011[/url], on Flickr

It is a really Cheap STW/ Parts bin Build
It gets me to work
It lets me do a few miles without dying like the FS
It now has some new-fangled suspension forks (from here) which I may try out tonight

It gives me confidence
One day I might get both wheels off the ground…

Some fat biffer is in the way of the picture of the bike, but it is the only recent picture of mine:

Got one after owning a 2nd hand earlier geo frame and it’s frikkin ace, goes up hill as better than Cove Handjob and descends really really well.

Oh yeah it’s a bit on the niche side, does have a Joplin fitted at the moment and about to have the old Racing Ralph slung on the rear for summer fastness 😀

Nice Boardman, didn’t know they did it in red…… 🙂

DB Alpine. MKI

‘cos it’s in my garage and i can ride it any time i want to.

this thread is fantastic.

for riding everything

Honourable mention goes to…

Just for you ‘Flebby’ 🙂

How slack was I, good job I noticed while taking the pics and took another Damn it, that makes me look ever nerdier 🙁

..because it’s got a 140mm fork and 110mm at the rear, gt distortion my arse

SSSimon…..a fellow Rushian 🙂

carbon rushians steve, not one of those alloy commoners 😉

seriously though best bike I’ve hd I reckon, so good on swoopy singletrack makes me smile everytime I ride it

Yeah my apologies, Carbon Rushians!!
Ive come straight from my rigid retro scott (see below) straight to the Rush. Absolutely nothing to compare it to, but it does make me smile plenty. Didnt know anything about them really, must have struck lucky when I spotted it on ebay and thought, I like orange, squishy at both ends, think I’ll have that 🙂

Ahhh much better!

because it’s been hit with a fugly stick but goes faster than a roadie on PCP (and causes as many crashes) 😆

This was a pic of it on its maiden voyage today and so far its epic. Goes up hills better than my hard tail did and flies down them!

I had the frame off ebay on Monday and transferred the rest of the kit from my HT today.

I love because it,s my new steed
