Mine: Either an Eastern Woods Research OWB, or Endless Lifetime with the Hammer Schmit 2 speed internal drive train 24t and 36t with an 18t rear cog. Not sure what forks I would buy in this day and age...yours?

Intense Tracer... Hmmmmm.... I looked at in for a long time... but so pricey!
Santa Cruz Blur LT2... a bit cheaper and amazing as well...

But now i saw the new TRANSITION Covert... 150mm travel. Based for a 160mm fork... Hammershmidt compatible... Hmmmm! Might upgrade sooner then expected!

As far as my SS goes... I'm plenty happy with the way it rides. A HAmmershmidt would make things easier... but my frame doesn't have ISCG mounts... it has a eccentric BB for chain lenght ajustments instead...

To be honest I haven't really put much thought into my dream bike. Something All Mountainish with around 5" of travel. I like the sounds of the Hammershmidt, so that would be cool. I'd look for a stiff fork, probably 20mm TA. Solid wheelset, that didn't weigh too much.

I guess it wouldn't be too exotic. I'd just want it to be reliable under my weight, and most of all fun!
