Now with a Reverb, RQ Black Chilli front and rear (2.4/2.2), a freebie Charge Spoon that just seems to have ended up on there, some Easton Havoc bars and minus the dork disc.

Thought it was facing retirement but it's just got a new lease of life so we're off to the scottish enduro series, where we will no doubt finish about 170th, again.

And more bike than I need down hill

Some great bikes IMHO. I'm particularly loving the Spesh content.
Like sssimon my Camber is still running 'those' 26" wheels.
I haven't posted a pic as 1) it has a mere 120mm so not sure that counts as mid travel, although I use it for the traily* stuff I ride. and 2) I haven't got a decent pic since changing bars, stem, pedals (and seat collar and grips to be precise).
Keep posting chaps.
*is that a word 😉
Seems from one of your threads like you were at BPW last weekend too!
Those pics were taken friday, but we also rode on sunday morning. We 'foolishly' rode Afan in the blizzard/storm that was saturday.
Lardman.
BTW.....
Nick Frost - Lardman..... not dissimilar.
I can ride faster tho'
Probably not as much travel as the majority of bikes in this thread but a wonderfully capable bike. Now sadly for sale in an effort to reduce me fleet as it's the one that's ridden the least 🙁

@shergie that was spec. 2 , with the first length of shock machine by 4mm has been shortened further since then 😉
Some lovely bikes on here but that Bronson is mint!

With KS Lev and e-13 2x device added
Unfashionable angles
TT too short according to the internet

all ready for Trans Provence holiday!
Is that a Kingdom Bike Brigante Ska-49?
Potdog - I think its a Brodie Holeshot or looks very much like one. I would very much like one!
It's a kingdom, taking style tips from Brodie 😉
Thanks to "new fangled marketing toss" what you have REALLY asked for is "show me your mountain bikes".
Oh go on then.
[img] 
[/img]
with marzochi55s since september cause i popped my 36s
[img] 
[/img]
Very New
[img] 
[/img]
@LoCo - Does that mean it'll go uphill even faster? It was already fast enough down 😉
ART - I think you're right. I'd not heard of the Brodie, but the photos I've just looked at show it doesn't have a mount for a DM front mech, where as the Kingdom does. Very similar looks though although I quite like the way the Kingdom toptube line flows into the seat stays when viewed side on.
Stand corrected! DT isn't curved at the HT on the Brodie...both look very nice.
Will be making an amateurish attempt at putting this through it's paces this year

64 degree head angle 33cm bottom bracket making it long slack low and an absolute hoot. Can have travel anywhere between 140-200mm with this shock, and works well with triple clamp forks too. Currently has 55rc3ti V2 evo's fitted. I will never sell this bike
Lovely Trance Advanced SX Nick, did have one on order but the local distributor was screwing me over on delivery dates so now going to a Mach6, once I sell my current bike......

masmas.... how you getting on with the Mavic tyres? thinking about replacing my HRIIs once they wear out. seem like a decent weight for a beefy UST tyre.
oh, and you is all gurlz for riding softie bikes (other than MoaA) 🙂

oh, and not sure if you can "rag" a bike at a trail centre as groomed as that, mr. lardman.... 🙂 (i'm sure you were being ironic)
hacking, not ragging....

@potdog and Matther- it's the kingdom Brigante prototype. The lines are a bit different on the production version.
