I just built mine. :twisted: :mrgreen:

Of course now I have the "next" dream bike which comes in the form of some ridiculously tricked out big bike, maybe M9? 951? V10? Driver8?

I'm lame and cheap, I like the Trance X. But I guess since it's a dream bike lighter is always better so I'd go with the Trance X Advanced SL 0, maybe a Mojo SL-R. Kinda prefer the more "normal" frame look of the TX Adv though.

Favorite Trails: Ones with beer at the end
23lb full suspension 29'er that I saw at The Path (only $7k :drunk: )

Currently in real life, I'd think the new Niner Air HT with a Fox Fork could be a winner...

Favorite Trails: The one I'm riding today.
I'm pretty much there with the RIP9 I built. The new Formula brakes I'm getting for it Monday pretty much seal the deal. The only thing left I could really upgrade are the cranks. I'm running Stylos now and they were new when I built it. They're a good solid crank--low end but solid. It's hard to justify running out and dropping $250 on blingy cranks for just that reason.

I'm ready to do something about my HT 1x9 now. I've never been completely satisfied with my EMD frame and Reba fork. I'm thinking a new steel frame and top of the line 2012 fork might be just what the doctor ordered.

Bike(s): canfield
Favorite Trails: any
Our dream bikes: Larry's Tr450, my Canfield Jedi and Eugene's 951. Blinged out parts like 888 Evot Ti, Harley ceramic hubs, Saint gruppo, rear Ti springs. Problem is, bikes are still parked in Larry's garage and cant bring it home, else divorce is on.

I am unsure about Larry though, his dream bike changes every 6 months.

It's a reality for me.
I always build my bike the way I want it from the get go and run with it until the next ride. I hate piece-mealing.
After taking off the 888 RC3 Evo Ti fork, I'm set and happy...

I upgraded my grips to yellow last week to act out my color-coordinated Filipino matchy-matchy self.
