Awesome response so far. Post photos please.

Since you asked:
RFX




By far, my most favorite bike cause I built the frame myself at UBI




On One 1x9. I've been digging this bike because it was cheap. $200 for the frame and left over parts from the bin. Plus, it's steel and built like a tank (weighs like a tank too).

Good but heavy. The weight is the penalty you pay for being able to drop the seat post any time you need to in a hurry. I've only had it for a few months so I haven't run into any issues as of yet.
