I've shamelessly copied some pictures, let me know if anyone is offended by this then I'll adapt.

It seems my favorites are a bit biased to certain brands/era

some of mine
this 1995 (a supposed scapin)made of Dedacciai 18MCDV6HT weight 10.5Kilos

this 1998 Kona Kilaeua made of Reynolds 631 a very agressive and terrific MTB weight 10.6 kilos

this 1992 Merida Al Bon made aluminium and bonded with 4130 double butted chromoly, very impressive despite its age weight 12kilos

this 1999 Trek 6700 SLR hand made of Alpha aluminium SLR in, the USA , nervous, stiff and very good handling mtb, weight 11.8 kilos

this 1994 Giant Bronco made of Alcoa 6013 T6 a bullet proof solid , fast and very good handling bike weight 12 kilos

this 2006 Trek SLR 6500 12 kilos and slightly different form of tubing compared to the previous generation

this 1st gen Trek Fuel 100 made of ZR 9000 alloy from years 2001-2002 , really fast and very good handling too. Weight 13 kilos

The Story of the Trek Fuel which is also one of the reason why I purchased mine and link of how the Trek Fuel 100 was originally equipped
All of my MTBs are restomods and all have the XT 780 T 30 speeds transmission. One will have a mix of XTR 980 and XT 780 T, it will be the last mountain bike project, Gary Fisher Hookoo Ekoo that I am getting back from my local bike shop in september. For forks I didn't go with older Rock Shox Sid since spare parts and having them restored can be complicated so I went with a modern replacement RockShox Recon Silver TK Solo Air Suspension Fork - 26" | 100mm | Canti/Disc.
