    Too much bike washing has rather killed it sadly! That was taken in January too, it looks rather more healthy now. That's the parents place anyway, don't live there any more!

    What's meant by best?

    Most expensive? Lightest? Best value for money? Hardest used? Cleanest? Dirtiest?

    Yes, in Leeds.

    The Mamasita frame was SH. The rest was bought as bits.

    God there are some rich people on here.

    Daffy – the Ibis looks lovely, but aren't the rims a bit lightweight for that kind of bike. Also, £1700? How?

    Nope, Stans rims are good and strong and the suspension takes the sting out of the hits. I'd be more wary of running them on a hardtail.

    WRT the price – It's all second hand, bought as parts and built up.

    My funds are tiny (as apparently is my knob) but, I'm pretty savvy when sourcing bits.

    The home truths about Nick's Epic…

    Frame – S-Works Epic – Broken
    Forks – Specialized Futureshock E100 – Broken LOADS of times
    Shock – Specialized Futureshock – Broken LOADS of times
    Crankset – Specialized S-Works BB30, 28/40 with alu bolts – Broken (well, the BB is)
    Headset – Cane Creek Integrated – Broken
    Cables – Alligator I-links with Power Cordz inners – Keep not working

    So super bling not necessarily "better".

    Only joking mate – that is a very nice bike, I've been jealous of it for at least 2 years!!

    God there are some rich people on here.

    Would you be saying that if the thread was about cars and people were posting about their brand new Focuses, Golfs etc.? My bike is admittedly not cheap for a bike, but nothing compared to the amount people spend on normal family cars. I've bought 3 MTBs, a CX bike and a couple of road bikes in the time I've had my car, but all of that lot still cost less than a fairly ordinary car, and lots of people would have had 3 cars in that time.
