Who’s got them, where do you ride them?
Broke my last mid level (from 95), and am pinching pennies for a Trek Fuel Ex 8 - need some inspiration while I’m without a MTB.

I ride a Ellsworth Evolution 29'r in the southern Rocky Mountains, around the Texas Hill Country and at least one trip a year to Moab.
The Ellsworth 29'r is like riding on a cloud.

I ride a bike I built myself several years ago. The frame is a Taiwan-sourced aluminum hardtail 29r, the parts are a mishmash of stuff. Fork is a chromoly rigid fork (glutton for punishment). Gearing is 1x9 with a 32x34 low. I ride the Mid-Atlantic region, and parts of the Appalachian mountains in VA, WV, TN, and NC.

I ride a Niner Jet Nine here in Utah. We are fortunate to have some of the best mountain biking trails in the West.

I ride a Yeti ASRc 29er. I mostly ride east TN and western NC. 2017 was my 20th anniversary of getting into mountain biking, it's my drug.
I got bikes. My MTB is an Stumpjumper FSR.
My latest bike is a gravel bike (Salsa Warbird carbon), which I bought last month. I'm looking forward to getting some miles on that bike.
I still ride the first MTB I owned, which was a Rockhopper that I bought in 1992. I commuted to work on it yesterday.
I'm 6'4". Found a custom enormous Kona hardtail frame built for Ryan Trebon on Ebay and built it up from components quite a few years ago. Pretty much like an AR built on stripped receivers. It actually fits me, and I love it. Loved riding it in SoCal. Hate the flatness here in Houston.

From a dirt-road ride in early spring. Water in the sun, ice in the shade.

A huge passion for me for a lot of life until I got hurt at the cop job. Hit 55 mph in the daytime and 45 at night on the Mammoth Mountain Kamikazi Downhill. Followed the race circuit, and used to watch Mrs. GJM race professionally. I just started riding a little again lately. My bikes floored the shop guys in retro cool factor. Mantis Flying V and a Cannondale Tandem. The Mantis is my baby. Most new to this won't get the significance of a hand built Richard Cunningham bike.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.
