Just thought i would have a look to see what the whole BOTM thing was (NEW TO THIS) and i love what i have seen so far but one on here stands out more than any other and it's the GT LOBO carbon it was and still is one of the best bikes GT ever built everyone knows there's not a lot of them around now and the first i have seen in years.For it to be in this condition and look that good it should win just for that.

Anyway i don't know if my vote is worth anything but it has to be the winner by miles and i think i should say if it does not win then the people who decide the outcome need one of these (Picture) only joking but it is a beautiful bike Eddies LOBO get's my vote

I originally thought this site was just ever so slightly anti-DH rigs, but maybe things are now turning.....

Be nice to see a GT win BOTM.......the LOBO and RTS go head to head (no pun intended there Eddie )

You know what i was not going to say anything but i had that sneaky feeling too let's be honest EDDIE'S LOBO is by far the best bike here it's in beautiful condition (by what we can see).And what carlos the slackal wrote hit the nail right on the head it was a bike far beyond what was being rode during that time. It should clean up the BOTM without any worries but i have a feeling it might not because of what it is A DH RIG and also a GT.I think to be honest it would be a refreshing change to see a DH rig win let alone a GT for that matter good luck Eddie with the LOBO you have my vote it really should win but Hmmm!!!

Dont get me wrong, I like Eddies LOBO a lot, but lets not forget speedplays RTS as well!

Now, IMO, the RTS revolutionised full-sus for the MTB industry and for the masses.

Does anyone remember Julie Furtado winning the worlds DH when it was only her second time riding the bike..... :shock:

The story of the Sunn radical + ( the one used by Vouilloz , Garcia , Chausson , probably the best dh bike ever ) , is linked with the RTS .

The creator of the Radical used to own a shop , when he got a call from Sunn to go and work for them . He was selling GT and had just got hold of one of the first RTS , he took it with him at Sunn .....
