None of them! I was either ready to move on to a different bike, or I just gifted the frame to someone. I will say the bike I wish had burlier pivots was my Mongoose Khyber. That thing rode fantastically, had solid geo and even a 1.5" HT. But it had little b!tch pivots/bearings in one of the links that kept disintegrating.
Don't have any pics of it built up, but this bad mamma jamma. I actually contacted the dude I sold it to back in 2012 a few months ago, but he had passed it on a year later. Objectively know what I'm on now is just as capable, or probably more so(Carbon Spartan) but I miss it's tanky-ness & fit.
I 100% regret selling this bike. During almost every ride on my current Santa Cruz 5010c I wish I could get it back.

It was perfect for me and where I ride in every way. Vassago Verhauen.
I feel you brother.. She's a beaut. But I bet that if you give that 5010 some time, you and your taint will thank it. Everything just takes a bit more time. (Milliseconds.)

I wish I had been able to afford to keep my rad as hell Trek slash. I decided that I wanted a downhill bike so the slash had to be sold to fund it, but that bike was just so damn dialled!
I hucked it in the Alps, raced downhill on it, and took it for 30km 'xc' rides , and it never skipped a beat. And the parts on it were all damn rad too.
Luckily ive saved hard and now have a process 153 that's super fun, but that slash was a damn great bike
My current trail bike is a Slash and I should be getting ready to sell it but I really don't want to. It just flat-out rips. Sometimes when I'm riding it with my full face on I forget I'm on a trail bike.
Definetly my custom built fully-stiff-single-speed-titan/carbon-trail-bike-project, which I built to have some opposition to my fully damped DH and trailbikes. This was back in 2010 and I still miss it, that thing was awesome fun to ride!
Sold it to a guy, and not even a month later I got the message that it was stolen from him, which means I can't even buy it back!
