My vote would go for:

Intense m1 sl
Specialized Palmer replica
Orange 222 or 223 ( peaty's black/yellow)

[DAKEN]

Man the Transition TR450 and the Intense 951 does it for me.

 

[EVRAC]

 

[Eastern States Cup]

Superco Silencer

 

[4130biker]

uhh, is that your personal bike?

I like the sunday for how clean/simple it looks. It's an 8" frame that almost looks like a traditional double-diamond bike frame- pretty amazing.

Current frames, that zerode is pretty bad ass, taking it one step further without the dewrangler hangin' off of it!

other then the seat this

Good old CPC!

 

[EVRAC]

No, more like dream bike. Pic is off the Zerode site.

 

[aanon]

Superco silencer.

 

[xy9ine]

silencer, for sure.

zerode is right up there too for clean elegant design.

of course for sheer artistic awesomeness, I'd say the m9 lahar, but I'm probably in a pretty small camp.

My top 3:
1) Honda RN01
2) Foes DHS Mono
3) Intense M9

My seat broke the week before so I had to put the junk WTB saddle on.

[no skid marks]

Superco
RaceLink
Lahar
Zerode
My raw Katipo(this frame's for sale(in OZ), making room for my Zerode.
That beat high pivot gearbox Nicolai that never saw the light f day a decade ago.

For non DH, some nice Ti frame, Black Sheep or other.

 

[ceng.dog]

My mate had a proto GT Fury similar to this

In the flesh it was a thing of beauty

 

[iRider]

Intense Socom.

 

[Ithnu]

I have a new Demo 8, and while I think its a great looking bike. The M9 is a sex machine.

A buddy of mine just picked one of those frames up. Now he is in search of the fork? Anybody? My votes = Sunn, Cortina, and the Palmer.

that was yours!?!?!?! that thing is sexy, why did you sell it?

 

[haromtnbiker]

 

[Sonic Reducer]

some pretty killer fabrication on these things

 

[LMC]

I Lusted after these back in the day, especially in the Team Maxxis colours..

I love the clean lines of the Turner though, all the tubes are balanced and the lines of the frame just flow.. It gets my vote..

 

[Ian Collins]

Lapierre DH 920, undead

 

[ramstein-dh]

There are a few i really like

1. Cortina DH8
2. Keewee cromo 8
3. Dark cycles scarab

5. Richi zwosh
6. Strom H2 DH
7. Brooklyn race link
8. Superco silencer
9. Tomac 204 magnum
10. Karpiel disco volante

Not in pecking order but i love the look and style of all of these frames and have owned 2 , 3 , 4 , and 6 wish i never sold any of them but time moves on.

I don't want to sound like a jackass, but I would toss that and get another frame. Specialized has learned alot since that frame came out. My two biggest complaint were:
-How flexy the thing was ( and I am not a heavyweight). I snapped many chains which I attribute to this.
-How the dropouts were angled at a 45 degree angle so when you were really cranking, you could rip the rear wheel out while riding.

My list in no particular order:
Honda test bike
Zerode
Canfield Brothers Jedi
Balfa BB7
Intense M1
Superco silencer
And finally there's a wilson bike picture out there showing of a gold-colored wilson bike on top of a green hill. Forget what it is, but it is a lovely picture.

BMW made some interesting frames too.
