I'd throw the 1989 (I think) Specialized RockCombo in there as well. Really neat bike that, like the XO1, flopped like a flounder on the floor. I think only 500 were ever made. Drop bars, "Miami Vice" paintjob, 26" wheels... I've always wanted one. Or a modern clone, with the same paint and decal style, but the text would say "Generalized" and "RockOnBro" instead.
