    How about this for ease of transportation to the trail centres?

    I first saw the folding mountain bike on here and it's always something I look to when I'm feeling a bit down in the mouth. It really never fails :lol:

    My Cove Shocker - Only with '09 saint crank instead of the older one and Juicy 7 leavers to go with my Code Calipers and not the very unrealiable and surprisingly fragile Code leavers.

    '08 Spesh SX trail (white and orange frameset) custom build with Fox 36 floats X9 and Elixer CR brakes.

    Demo 7 (just for the looks really)

    The, as yet not released Evil Bikes 6" "all mountain" frame that I read should be awesome.

    Cove Stiffee.

    Yeah there's a hell of a lot of over lap there, but I can't help it, I like what I like.

    A Lapiere Zesty 914 for bombing around the hills.
    My Merlin XLM for what I use it now for.
    A Cannondale road bike for commuting, fully pimped out of course.
    A single speed Jones 29er, one of the Merlin ones. a mate of mine has a pre production model, it's easily the most beautiful bike I've ever seen.

    That's about it I think, any more and I'd need a new shed and that's a whole new thread!
