hot:
-Transition TR-450
-tapered head tubes
-POC Stuff
-New Saint
-Fox Forks
-slim pedals
-lightweight all mountain builds you can actually ride

not
-no more full white builds, please...
-purple anno, i dont think it looks that bad but it's starting to be overdone...i think we will look back on this one and it will be the kawasaki green doublewides.
-stupid light direct mount stems and pedals that will snap...they arent dh friendly even though they are marketed as such.

just my $.02
