my best freeride bike would be a turner rfx 6" travel plate hanebrink g-7 hope brakes and hubs with d521 cd raceface turbines and yes i already have it along with a voodoo x country race bike hope and xtr very nice around thetford so is the turner

Hmm let me see.......

Intense Tracer
Rock Shox Pyslo Race Tullios or Fox Forx Float RLC
Full XTR
Hope Enduro Discs
Hope Bulbs with F519 Rims and Sapim Spokes
Easton Carbon Seatpost and Riser Bar with Magnesium Stem
Chris King Headset
SDG Satalite Saddle

Bloody Hell this sounds familiar!

Other options would be an Intense Uzzi SL or SLX with the same kit with splatterings of Easton or Race Face as it is as good as it gets. If I was in a different mood it would be a Patriot or a Sub 5 or a Bullit if it had replaceable hangers!

Or whilst Im on a roll!...

An Intense frame with suspension front and rear adjustable on the fly from 3" to 7" and lockout weighing about 25-26lbs

Dream freeride bike? Would have to be an over-heavy full sus frame, with a shitload of travel I don't need, but looks good outside the cake shop where I can fill my fat face. NOBODY NEEDS SUSPENSION AT ALL! Even a clumsy bastard like me can get away with a cheap hardtail and cheap forks that don't move much anyway....

LMFHO

Sounding a bit bitter there Matt...

;)

Can't afford to be bitter, its just that all my mates have better bikes than me, I can't afford a new bike, my frame is knackered, my forks don't work... but I wouldn't buy a lardy full sus bike anyway!

not even a G zero

Nah, me neither. Rubbish bikes...

Doh!

Sub 5 for me.Had one for 6 months,no problems,enjoy every moment I am out on the trails.
