I've been having a good time recently on my '06 DMR Trailstar. Straight steerer, very steep HA and short reach mean it's not great off road (except when riding with the kids), but the current build has become known as "The Duchess", because rigid with one gear, a front rack and 70mm rise bar it's the Dutch-est bike in the house.
Sorry (not sorry) about the dad-joke.
As one of the few frames I've owned from new I'm really enjoying the litany of builds it's been through. From main-mountain-bike, to backup-hardtail, to silly-SS, and its current guise.
