Well i think we've had this before but anyway as title,
I like a bit of downhilling and dirt track riding every now and again so here's mine,
Very nice to ride and never seems to break either which is always a good thing

ive had a mate come up tonight and let him have a go on my bike for the first time.. so he decided to go up my street on the back wheel all the way and my street it easily 200 meters long 
then he's hopping about on the back wheels onto curbs and fences and stuff and was definatly impressed with the brakes. but i can still do a endo longer than him

Right heres a couple of pics of the ones lying around at the moment, please excuse the pic quality, you get the idea tho 
My old bmx, this doesn't get enough use anymore so will be sold off soon:-
Rebuilding my pashley onto this new frame now after cracking the old one a couple of weeks ago, should be ready to ride tomorrow:-
My hack/jump/everyday bike also suffered a cracked seat stay and ovalised headtube, will be rebuilt with a few new bits next week
onto this ........
and my other toy:-
There you have it, lots of toys, just not enough time to fix / use them at the moment !

Benni: 33 lbs is ok depending on what its for, you'd be looking at about 36+ for a full DH rig but anything down to 24 for a XC specific bike..... mine is around the 31lb mark
mark: recon theres about Ł3K in total to build it again, the frame alone was Ł1200 and forks Ł600! i did the decent thing tho and let my best man drop it on her toes in the middle of my wedding speaches!

Cheers mate, I've had a few problems with my hips/Legs and i'm buying a bike to get fit. But the last thing i want is a stupidly heavy bike. Only want it to cruise round on, Then one i've seen is 33 lbs
