Old School Hero
One of the great all around trail bikes with the FSR-Horst design, light enough for XC but burly enough for all mountain/DH. I use the 4.5" rear kit with the TALAS at 100mm, but have the 5" links/shock for those times I feel ... the need.
Not really a daily driver these days (since I got the carbon 29er hardtail...) but does get a workout a couple times a month. It got a new saddle, grips and shifters last summer otherwise pretty much the way I last fiddled with it around 2006.
In current spec 28 pounds as ridden.
