Focus Raven Expert
I bought this bike as my first MTB that I intended to take offroad in 2009. Actually my wife bought it for my birthday! 
. It’s pretty light at 10.3kgs. Full carbon frame and rides like a dream.

Frame – SPSS Carbon with Rockshox Reba SL RL forks
Groupset – Shimano XT
Brakes – Avid Elixir R hydraulic
Wheels – Fulcrum Red Metal 5

Malvern Star – Oppy Le Mauco
Bought this bike as it was about the best value bike I could find for my budget of $4000 AUS. Somewhat unique in that it’s blue. All Malvern Star Oppy’s use the same frame just painted (labelled) differently depending on model. The Le Mauco specification is normally red, but I wanted blue so the bike store transferred everything over to a blue frame normally used for the Lyon (Ultegra groupset).

GT i-Drive
My first bike since I was a kid. In hindsight it was a mistake to buy a full suspension MTB, but what did I know! Will probably sell in the next year and replace with something more suitable. I don’t do a lot of off-roading at the moment, but want to start doing more.
