My relatively new Giant trance 2 650b, bought in October.
Stock + Giant dropper, frame skin, ODI grips, seat clamp (on its way), MAXXIS ardent rear will replace the rear nobby nic soon due to wear.
Looking to upgrade brakes soon to some XT ICE techs
It's my first serious mtb really and I am loving it. Definitely enjoy descending more than climbing... but it's growing on me!
Pics inc.. My Giant and my partners Merida, the day it came home, and me being a twit in a recent race

My 2012 Trek Remedy 8.
I love this bike. Its ability far exceeds my own and it does everything from some light downhilling to riding the 13kms to work 1 or 2 days a week.

Just a repost.
The 2012 S Works Enduro is a great bike. Bit big travel wise for a general trail bike, but for the rough and tumble it is in its element.
Full XT drivetrain, Shifters, cranks, cassette, rear derailliuer, chain, except XTR front derailliuer.
XT Brakes 7 inch front, 6 inch rear rotors
Fox TALAS 160mm tapered fork Fox rear shock
Roval Alu rims. Tubeless.
Maxxis 3C front(heavy wire bead), Nobby Nic rear
KS dropper w/remote
ODI Rogue lock ons
About 13.8-14kg as is..

How do you find the lever as opposed to a remote for your dropper post? I love the simplicity look, but dunno if i could take one hand of the bars to drop/raise my seat.....My 2012 Trek Remedy 8.

I've only had it for a few days but so far so good. It takes a bit of getting used to but I'm almost on top of it now. The only issue I have is e lever is a bit short for my liking.
I like it though. Coupled with the fact that it was half the price of the LEV made it a winner for me.

Cheers Johnny, to say I'm happy with the purchase is an understatement.
Bit of a sore point regarding the forks, I'm at a loss as to Trek's reasoning with part specification. As the Remedy 9 (very similar spec'd Alloy framed version at $1200 cheaper) is fitted out with Fox 34 Factory Floats with Kashima coating, whilst the Remedy 9.8 is fitted with 34 'Performance Series' Floats, minus kashima coating! Dafuq?!
Nice purchase, loving the Rhyme orange frame finish of the 9's!

They did the same thing with the fuel 29ers. 9.8 carbon has the non kashimas, the cheaper 9 alloy has the kashimas. Guess that they wanted to keep the price down on the carbon frame models?
I noticed that with the fork spec on the carbon models while i was researching/drooling over them on the web. You'd think at that price range that if it were $300-$500 more again to have kashima forks that most people would pay the difference! Have to go to the 9.9 to get KC being a bunch more money again, and seemingly not available in Australia!
Yes i very much dig the orange.
It was amusing while I was shopping for it, I was trying so hard to convince my self the remedy 8 would be ok and that I'd save some money, one look at the 9 in orange and I knew that plan was out the window and there would be an orange bike coming home!
