If the right cheap full suspension frame came up I'd consider building something around one.
If money were no object : See my signature.
Oh and maybe a Rock Lobster, always liked those and still do.

defo want a fat chance build, but i haven't really tried to get one yet, mainly because i think i will be dissapointed if i do get one, high expectations etc.
a merlin titanium would be nice, something that was just modern enough to fit an 80mm fork to but v brake only, so there's no unused disc mount.
eddy merckx motorola team build (even though it's dura ace and i'm a campag guy)
a mint breezer, purely for the paint, i love the paint on those and i wouldn't care if it rode badly which i'm sure it wouldn't.
colnago master, campag build of course, with chrome in all the right places
i'm sure there are more!!

bizarrely two bikes I used to own and race...
Id be madly happy if i had my old Zaskar and hei hei again, many many happy hours spent on both...
Zaskar I hope to find shortly, Ive got all the parts on standby, but tbh Ive kind of given up on finding a 16'' 97 hei hei again :cry:

When i was about 14 i was really into carbon. i used to try and dream build bikes with as much carbon in as possible. i thought skinny tubed steel frames were dull. that all changed when i read a review of the mountain goat whiskey town racer. it was a deep maroon colour and classy as you like. ever since i have wanted one but its certainly out of my reach at the minute.
on a less glamourous note i'd give my left leg for a KHS montana team, circa 1993 (pink and blue). There was always one hung up in the LBS. full m900 xtr, weighed nothing. pure class. i have seen a few frames for sale but never a full bike. i think i would sell the fleet for one of those.
i would like to have a mid 90's cannondale full sus bike i think. i always saw them as being ahead of their time and i was a big missy fan. i dont think it would be a keeper though.
also on a missy tip i would love a full sus yeti circa 1992.
obviously if a vintage ritchey or cunningham turned up i would be very happy. cant see that happening though
