'03 Jamis Exile baby and love it! (It lives in my bedroom, even though I have a garage. I think it gets more attention than my roommates.)

`88 Specialized Hardrock Sport. Frame's a bit long for hairpin turns in singletrack, but it performs well everywhere else including climbs. None of the original drivetrain is left, now sports a blend of LX, XT, XTR, Son Of Strongarm cranks, and 8-speed Grip Shift.

Can't kill it, so I may as well ride it.

Trek 830 with slicks for the road. I like the way it holds all my camping gear when I travel. I've cycled from New England to New Orleans to LA and from New England to Key West.

MTN- '97 Ibis Mojo Steel with '99 XTR and '02 Rock Shox SID, Cook Bros Cranks, White Ti Hubs, 747 SPDs, Syncros stem and post and lots of other goodies.

ROAD - '02 Kestrel 200SCi with '02 Campy Chorus 10 speed, '04 Campy Scirocco wheels, Speedplays.

I purchased both as slightly used frames and then built them up. Saved a lot of $$$ this way and the only thing I had a LBS do was to put a Chris King headset in each. It's a shame Ibis didn't make it by the way; their frames are beautiful.

Thumbs up

I recently bought a GIANT Rincon, best buy I've ever made. Only downside is the RST suspension which is too soft when riding on the road.

As of yesterday I am riding a V1 Haro (hardtail) Before I was riding an old Raleigh Canyon special edition, a VERY heavy bike and the gears were tough and then I tried my Haro and when I dropped to granny gear I just couldn't believe how easy it was to ride that bike. It was like riding a feather in comparison.
