Lynskey's duallies are 'orrible in comparison (design, not welds). They should just pump these out:

Craftworks Rail HT, absolute weapon for its time!
I had Manitou Shermans up front and used to bomb the shit out of it, 1m + drops, following my mates down the downhill lines at Stromlo
they all had SC Bullits, Norco A lines, and Giant Glory's..never could afford a full on DH'r at the time but I made do..
Had a Speccy Big Hit with the 24" rear, that was a fun bike, but a total pig to pedal on the flat
Had a AM HT Transition Vagrant that I swapped with Plank for another frame, That was a great bike, had lots of fun on that girl too

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
You were a hipster before hipsters existed.My old Titus Ti Rockstar was an absolute ripper of a bike for XC race duty, I hope the junkie that has it now appreciates as much as I did.
Pretty hard to argue it's better than my current rig...^that was really good at going uphills, wouldn't think about a downhill track on it, current one does everything well.

Patient zero?
As far as I'm aware not many hipsters ride 100mm duallies, the Titus has nineteen more gears than the bikes that most bearded, inked baristas ride.

Chris Cocalis knows his shit, even did back then... ^that is not the prettiest bike to come out of Tennessee.Lynskey's duallies are 'orrible in comparison (design, not welds). They should just pump these out:

I did like my rockstar too. weird having an alu front triangle and a carbon rear, works well somehow though. I'd say my spider275 does everything short of fire trail work better than the rockstar did, but it wasn't half bad at most trail riding either. I never felt it was lacking anything at least.

Mine was the Ti version which tbh was a total waste of time being a duallie, not that I would/could feel the difference, the spyders VPP would always handle trail work better than the Rockstars FSR. I took it down for a few early Bike Bullers and because of the one bike rule it never got of the roof of the car, the fun bike always made an appearance but at the end of the 50km races I was always wishing I was on that, and it would've been fine on Delalite... maybe not ABOM.

I had a 2012 brown Trek Rumblefish that I had a lot of fun on , a great name for a bike 
, I think Trek stuffed up by not continuing with that name

Best bike: dragster I got when I was 10. Freedom in a 20”. Rode it everywhere all the time - until dinner time. It got me hooked on bikes.
Finished rebuilding it a few months ago and regularly use it to cruise down to the bus stop to pick up the kids.
Ha ha. Still have my 96 y-11. Single speed and discs for light duties. It’s a shame so many Kmart bike copies (poorly) the shape.
Recently picked up a 97 Y22 for cheap to restore as well.
