Holy Jeebus that bike looks like it has a lot of suspension travel. Thanks for sharing the pics of your rides.

$10,000 probably a little exaggerated but my bike is around $7,000. A hand made in the USA downhill frame like intense is close to $3,000 by its self but thats with a rear shock and a Ti spring. Front forks are around $1,500 alone, it adds up quick but its still cheaper than Motorsports, makes rc cars not seem so expensive.

That's a lot of money, I ride a Cube hard-tail because I ride cross country and on the road but its nowhere near as expensive as that!
