Without the old site, I thought thread for posting our Moots' would be in order.
Currently I'm racing my Gristle-ybb. I'm also the proud owner of an all Ti Smoothie, a '99 Ti Ybb-26, a '86 steel Mountaneer, a '89 steel rodie, a 87ish Steel road tandem, and a moots factory made Ti Hampsten. Plus I count my wifes Ti Smoothie for 8 Moots' under my roof.
What are you riding?
What other Moots' are in the garage?

I built up a 2010 Mooto-X YBB last fall and I just took delivery of a 2011 Vamoots CR frame yesterday which is waiting for a few more parts before I can build it. I was going to go with an RSL but in the end I liked the CR's conventional bottom bracket, no-offset fork, and 27.2 diameter seat post which is presumably a bit more compliant over the bumps. Additionally, I have no intention of racing so I thought I would be more comfortable on it over the RSL which is designed for a little bit stiffer riding characteristics and a slightly more aggressive riding position.
Well, I only have one Moots, but it is by far my fave ride and I would love to be able to add to the Moots side of the stable at some point.
-Moots Cinco: King, X.0, Rock Shox Revelation. Going into Moots for a refurbish/new bearings after the 24 Hours of Moab. May end up hanging some X.X stuff on it when I get it back, not 100% positive yet.
-Cannondale 69'er Singlespeed Frankenbike: Was my late father's mountain bike that I stripped, re-painted, had a custom "switchblade" style rigid 29'er fork made out of an old Manitou fork crown.
-Kona Jake CX: This bike is new, replacing my old Major Jake that I broke. Nothing fancy, but a good, do-it-all whip.
-Specialized Rumphumper Comp 29'er: X.9 10 speed, Rock Shox Reba.
-The front half of a C'Dale mountain tandem: XTR, Rock Shox Argyle. The rear of it is owned by my wife, on loan to my son for the time being.
-1963 Schwinn Collegiate: Almost mint paint, all original, 5 speed stem mounted shifter, and the original alt bars.
I'd love to get a Mooto-X YBB to replace the Special-ed, but no hurry just yet. Still deciding if I like the 29'er thing enough to cough up the dough for a Moots.

Mooto-X YBB and PsychloX YBB for me.
Almost pulled the trigger on the Moots snow bike but too small.
I thought TBill has a Moots stable second to none but SBSbiker I pay homage! Classics!
Sat - Try three little girls under 8 years old! Night riding has become a common occurrence.

I have an 09 Mooto X YBB. I'm running XT components with I9 wheels. It has put a spell on me, and made me obsessed with bikes more than ever. If I didn't love my wife so much, I would gladly empty out my bank account and buy more. Does anyone else come home, stare at their bike and think of things to buy for it? I'm thinking R1 Formula brakes, and converting it to a 2x9 drive-train.

Holy smokes, jah, that's impressive! I was feeling somewhat sheepish about listing my bikes but that makes me feel better. I won't go into the non-Moots, but right now I'm down to the RSL, Compact SL, Vamoots SL and YBB. The Psychlo-X is gone, and I'm thinking of replacing it with a Moots-built Hampsten Strada Bianca ti.

1999 YBB. Upgraded the fork to a 2010 SID, now with full XTR. Still sweet.
2003 Vamoots. Semi-custom… It's a 57 but the top tube is 58.5. Spoke to Kent for about 1 1/2 hours going over how to get a frame that fit me perfectly, while he was still around. Service! This one has about 60,000 miles on it, and is still good as new. Replaced the bars, stem, and fork from a recent crash, now she's pretty much good as new (well, need new brake hoods and the rear derailleur bolt is shaved like a (…) get your head out of the gutter).
