i kinda agreed about the silencer
and this:
and this:
best looking downhill frame
- Thread starter ALEXIS_DH
- Start date
Forgot about the Nicolai amazing frames , also what forks are on the Tomac magnum?
Looks like a Foes XTD Fork, but stickers say THE.

Yeah they do look like foes XTD , i would love a set of those.
This:
Boy, I resurrected a D8 from the grave a couple seasons back and ended up loving it! I basically ended up killing it good 'n hard, and had to trash it. Cracked rear triangle, bent linkage and pins, and all the hardware was bent or snapped too. (Not a hack!) Anyway, here's a picture in its prime!
Empire Ap-1 for looks
224 (seriously)

zerode, racelink -particularly the one for sale in the classifieds (orange and black), Foes DHS slammer, the old-ass cortina AVY edition, Sunn Radical (original), Tomac LawwillMagnum,Honda RN01 for pure beauty. I like the Sunday and Socom purely from a simplicity standpoint. Both frames with great solid triangles. I'm not a huge fan of the silencer, the pivot looks too high on the seat tube and it ends up looking goofier/more unbalanced compared to the racelink. I wouldn't mind owning one, but I think it's a bit uglier than the original.
definitely not a XTD Curnutt fork

sacrilege!
though now that you mention it, i suppose the higher pivot might look a bit less svelte from a purely aesthetic perspective. i do prefer the new shock & seat tube arrangement though. eh, they're both sexay.
I don't know, man...that racelink just does it for me. From a usability standpoint, the invisilencer is a better bike, but the racelink had such neat, tight packaging. Maybe it's the straight "upright" beneath the chain that's throwing me off...
I agree with Sandwich. Racelink looked better, but at that end of asthetics the Silencer is still one hot looking bike.
Balfa BB7 as someone else mentioned.
And hell yeah, Donovan Intense looks great. Hopefuuly carbon bikes will go this way, not sure why Santa Cruze is running with tubes on the Carbon V10.
Some nice old bikes coming out.

Thanks! Look at the chainstay and you will see my name on it.
Stopped riding for Sinister and started riding for Yeti. It was a heavy frame but took everything.
Being a TIG welder, I can't agree with the Brooklyn bikes. I've looked at the welds and they just don't look good. Not saying weak or bad, just not as finished or 'pretty' for a company with that kind of quality bike. I could see alot of starts and stops where they should not be and almost seems like a series of foot pulse tacks with no filler rod.
The bikes themselves are impressive and strong. After all it is steel.

stick, does leigh still have that bike hanging around?
Yeah, we have it. Its currently hanging over my head in my office.
Also have the bike she won the 95' worlds on. Nicolai/Mongoose, what a gem that thing is.
Have to defer some to the votes for the Honda RN01; but IMO hands-down the coolest looking machine still had to have been the Sintesi Bazooka:
That and Millyard's creation:
Guess I'm just a sucker for the moto-esque tube-frame look.

Always looked cool on the trail too.
I had a few of these:
Had the ava rear shock, and a floating brake kit, with a stratos superstar 8 up front and dual 24x3.0's
Fun times back in the hucking days. Still think it was a dead sexy design.
4 to 1 leverage ratio was a bit crazy though. Broke a couple fox shocks, 4 swingarms and 2 front ends.

This. There is not words to describe how badly I lust after this bike... Soooooo want. If it was available I would pay stupid amounts of money to have it.
Have you a pic of this one?
Look at that kit!
