    I have a 2011 Glory with Deity wide bars, saint pedals, Elixir CR brakes, X0 shifter, and just fitted a thomson stem but have to get some new headset spacers to fit.... want to drop the bars a bit.

    I have a 2012 Trance X3 as well for trail rides. It was the last retail 26" trance in Perth. Put the old bars off my glory on that, and a reverb seat dropper.

    Got a shorter 50mm nukeproof stem on the Trance too.

    Also got an NS Metropolis for parks/ramps and dirt jumps. My favourite (and one of the closer) parks got demo'd recently so I haven't been on that much for a while.

    Then I have a commuter, another giant :S Cross city (hybrid flat bar thing) I bought it cheap off a mate and ride it to work 3-4 days per week.

    How's about yours?

    I've got a 2010 Specialized BigHit. Boxer teams and Saint M820's. It is getting a bit long in the tooth. I am thinking of getting one of the new Glorys.
    DJs aren't something I have ever really tried. I haven't fully got my head around jumps so I only usually do medium size stuff on the DH bike, it saves me when if/when I case it :)

    I recently got a Laperrie Zesty 727, was a run out so I got a good price. I have to say I like the 27.5" wheels. I am pretty tall so handling hit doesn't affect me as much. The EI suspension which on certain trails works ok. At the least it remembers to open the rear suspension when I head downhill on it.

    For a cummuter I've got a cannondale badboy single speed, which has been totally customized as I have had a frame replaced under warranty. I put wide bars on it so it isn't such a shock when I get back on the MTBs.

    Haha nice! Yea I used to have a Specialised SX trail 2. The Elixir brakes and deity bars were upgrades to that. Sold it and got the glory and trance. Glory was two rides old off a FIFO mate.
