What's your favorite rigid bike for tight singlrtrack?

I have to say mine is my 89 Bridgestone MB-1 so far with my 95 steel Stumpjumper coming in a close second . The Bridgestone is a tad quicker in the steering and the fork is more forgiving on studder bumps. I am still dialing the Stumpjumper fit/ setup so it still may become my fav. It really sucks having to decide which bike to take out . My Wicked Fat is following up third but is a little more boring in the handling dept, although it is very easy to ride fast.
I am particularly interested in hearing about the bikes we don't see on this side of the ocean.
 
My Raleigh White Lightnin' :D

However from a more mainstream point of view a 1990 Stumpjumper can sure nail the twisty stuff in rigid format brilliantly :wink:

Scott Montana - the first mountain bike I ever rode, complete with spare spokes, just in case!
The rangers could catch you? What were they on?

The cro-mega, Estay bikes intrigue me. I have a Redline fifty-five steel estay , which appears to be very similar , unfortunately, I have yet to build it up so I have yet to ride a estay.
