Cove Hustler with Mazrocchi All Mountain SL1 forks. Hope Mono M4 disc with braided hoses, Mavic 36 spoke rims with Hope hubs. Full XTR drivetrain and Raceface stem, bars, seatpost.
 I love it, is the best bike in the world.
I do freeriding and XC. Chicksands is about 10min drive away and going there later with dad today 
Used to be into XCing big time, had a lightweight Specialized Rockhopper Pro etc.
AndyW - you asked the questions and never said what you do.

Ive got a 2000model Specialized FSR XC Stumpjumper. What sort of riding? The sort which involves me sitting here looking at the bike  Although, coincidentally, I rode my BMX to work earlier to get my car I left there last night.
Still knackered now tbh.

I had a Claud Butler Cape Wrath years ago, with Marzocchi Z1 Bombers in yellow, some flashy handle bars and changed some gear stuff. Cable discs which were a ball ache to set up properly! But it was such a nice ride. When that got nicked I bought this xc bike but had lost interest and hardly used it in 7years.

lol no I haven't been in Lidl. It isn't proper mtb stuff, too cheap and cheerful and won't last imo.

I've got a '97 Research Dynamics Coyote 4 Pro, in it's day it was a really good spec, light as a feather with all Shimano LX and XT gear and it still does the job for the occasional ride as I've kept it in really good condition.

Raleigh Vulture with shimano gears and V brakes
I like it, it works
But does anyone know how to adjust the gears on my bike? Its gripshift and the 1-6 works but on the other side I have L-H to change between the three bigger cranks? Its got two little screws on the gear thing by the chain ?

Where abouts do you go riding in Bracknell? The look-out and around that area?
Ive got a specialized stumpjumper m2. Its a few years old but I got it when I was racing back in my school days.
Its got mavic rims (forget the number)
Specialized hubs
XT groupset
Specialized saddle, its apparently a womans one looks identical to the blokes that I compared it to in the shop but it matches the colour of my bike perfectly.
Its got the yeti bolt on grips, standard bars and stem.
Richy seat post
I cant remember what tyres it has on it but it could be either specialized fold up xc ones or tiogas.
Ive forgot whats on it really as it hasnt been looked at for so long 
I keep meaning to dig it out and go for a ride.
