Commuter:

  98 Garry Fisher Marlin (me)

   + Rockshox Judy XC

   + Sun Mammoth Rims w/XT hubs (cause commuting in NYC is like racing dual slalom with your competition weighing 3000lbs and up)

  98 Specialized Rockhopper (honey)

   + RST 281 (do not ever buy this fork!  I'm still regret putting it on.  They are evil.)

Cappucino Run:

  99 Specialized Fatboy Cruiser (Chistmas present from my honey in '99.  I have the best fiancee on the planet!)

Trail Bike:

  97 Specialized Ground Control FSR (me)

   + Mavic 517 w/XTR hubs and Intense 2.1 XC tires (wouldn't recommend the tires to anyone with the offset chainstays on their FSR.  The tires are just too wide and I had to shave off a big chunk of the outboard knobs on the drive side to keep them from rubbing, I used to run IRC Mythos XC 2.1's with no problem, I just left most of the knobs off them in California)

   + Mountain Speed sealed bearing kit (you gotta have this if you have the older FSR's with bushings, what a difference!)

  2K Specialized Stumpjumper FSR-XC (honey).  She just got it so we haven't had a chance to tweak it yet.  But we will.

Downhill:

  2K Specialized FSR-DH (me) - Why?  because it came stock with the Manitou XVert Carbon w/ 7" of travel that's why!

   +Azonic Hammer stem
   +Azonic Doublewall handlebars

   + Chris King headset

   + Azonic 454 cranks/bottom bracket

   + Shimano 636 pedals

   + Specialized Fatboy saddle

   + Richey seatpost

   + MRP Worldcup 2 chainguide 

   + Sram 9.0 derailleur

   + Sram Gripshift Halfpipe shifter 

   + Hope Big'uns hubs

   + Hope Sport disc brakes

   + Sun Doublewide 24" rims

   + Nokia Gazzaloddi 3.0 tires

   + Cassette XT
   + chain/chain ring (whatever Rob dug out of his closet 36 teeth on the chainring though.  Worked great at Plattekill, no so at Whitetail)

   99 Specialized FSR Comp (honey) - We are in the initial discussion phases of turning it into a dh sled for her.  Looking at Manitou XVert R fork, Mountain Speed Travel Upgrade w/sealed bearings, Hayes disc brakes, Sun Modo Wheels 24R/26F (lucky her, she has the level chainstays and can run WIDE tires!).  Of course it goes without saying if we do upgrade the front fork, the Judy on it now replaces the evil RST on the Rockhopper.
