Getting impatient for the the snow to melt. Doing the yearly suspension, tubeless, tune ups on all the bikes. New tires, brake pads, derailleur cable and housing (huge PITA), and a Pike ultimate on my daughters Salsa rustler.

Well after finishing out the rest of our AM bikes I officially hate internal cables. Switched out the XT brakes off my bike (Kona external cables) for my sons Giant internal cables with the G2 ultimates he bought last summer and hates. Also did fresh derailleur cable housings on his bike and my wife’s. My Kona it took <10 min to remove the old derailleur cable housing and replace it with a new one and remove the rear brake and replace it with a new one. <10 min for all that. On the Giant X with internal it was 1.5 hrs for the same thing…
Sadly sold my Canfield Nimble 9 to make room for a new e-bike. Went with the Orbea Rise. RIght at 40 lbs, which isn't bad for the build I put together. I've had so much fun on the first few rides that my Hightower, which I love, may start collecting dust. This thing pedals efficiently even without battery and I can throw it around pretty good.

Seeing that long cage derailleur, I’m curious what the spread is on your cassette?
The cassette is a 11/34.
This is my style right here!

Yes! I’ve been riding for years and all types of bikes. This is by far my favorite!
After building up a few Evils, a capra, and a Forbidden Druid, halfway through an enduro race on the druid last year i said screw it and switched to Ebike. Ordered it on stage 4 lol. Sold my normal bikes and this is all i ride now, got to say i prefer the weight of the ebike on jumps and descents. It plows. Never getting rid of my Decoy. My wife rides a turbo levo and loves it too. Its really nice to be able to run true DH casing rear tires with cushcore front and rear and not even tell a difference in weight.
just put this together last night for my wife! very pleased with it especially for the price. always a gamble buying without testing but she absolutely loves it and i’m very pleased with the quality.

it has crossed my mind
Picked up a GT Xizang titanium 29” hardtail a couple weeks ago (for a steal…). Gonna build it up 1x11 with some I9 hubs. Not sure if I want to go rigid or front sus…
Couple more pics of the stable -
Carbon hardtail for the oldest, 1x11 and he’s growing into it nicely.
Litespeed Tuscany, got the frame for $50 from a racer who bent the sh*t out of the derailleur hanger. Buddy at my LBS straightened it for free.
Last pic is a Marin Gestalt gravel frame that I’m working on too. Like I got time to ride all these damn things.
Still gotta get a pic of my Titus Modena…

I haven't really had any time to ride the past few months between chasing two little kids and dialing in my 60. But I got out for an evening ride last week.
