Show me your 26er!

I know they get very little love anymore. But a nice 26er is a blast to ride, especially singletrack. Here's my 2002 Rigormootis. Would love to see yours and your thoughts on the ride!!

I have a 26 inch hard tail and it is more bike than my skills need. Fun to ride.

who is building all of these TI forks? I have always been a little afraid of the no name/chinese ones, though I would ride a blacksheep or a TI cycles or Dean (or Potts, if he would release it!).
Actually looking for a good suspension fork, will post my IF deluxe on here once I find one
Otherwise, love the old 26" bike--plenty for the sort of trails I want to ride.
