My 02 Cannondale Jekyll 900 SL. The craftsmanship of these frames is perfect, neat and tidy welds. Everything on it worked great except for the CODA brakes those where awful and terrifying, how anyone rode DH (or XC for that matter) with those I don't know.
At Interbike in 2006 Hutchinson unveiled their Serenity tire which uses closed cell foam that cannot go flat, but they weight a ton and are only available for commuting bikes. Also pneumatic tires are the only good choice for offroad riding as without the adjustable of an air tire we would be stuck with one hardness for all conditions.

Shimano SLX M675 brakes are way better than Elixer 3s. Shimano brakes need to be bleed less and are more consistent. They are also easier to bleed because they use non toxic mineral oil instead of toxic DOT 5.1. I have ridden my Shimano XT brakes 4 times a week all season and I haven't had to bleed them yet...
