Re:
I always disagree for such listing. Top 10 for why ? The best XC bike ? The best for downhill ? The most iconic ?
And how it was said : it's so subjective !
I'm lucky to own so many different bikes and some days, I want to ride or just looking one, more than other, with no reasons.
It's like nice wine : some days, red is better, some days I prefer white or rosé

Re: Re:
Might be something to do in the off winter months during arm chair retro biking season. Run a bunch of polls to see what the most important, innovative, best XC, DH etc. Something to chat about and [some] rant about.

Its always going to be a thing of opinion though rather than anything else, like the poster above who rates every klein under then sun

Re: Re:
The owner of the shop I raced for's personal one weighed 24.7. It was used strictly for XC/promotion (it hung in the shop on a scale when not in use). Those of us who rode them and raced DH and did freeriding @ Bromont/Ste. Anne on the off weekends bikes all weighed considerably more. Throw a Mr Dirt PBF or FAT, Hopes, Alumilites, Tioga DHs, IRC snakebite tubes at them and the weight skyrockets.
