    Depends his you define ‘main’.

    But I have a 2013 Covert and a Carbon 456, unsure of year but I’d guess it’s a 2011/2012.

    8 year old Rock Lobster.
    Frame a bit battered, probably needs new forks, fine otherwise.
    Lovely bike.

    Occasionaly get the itch for a full susser, but it doesn’t last.

    My main bike is a 2010 Genesis flyer. I think my Soul is a 2008 frame going on the serial number. Both look like new so no plans to change.

    My off road bike is Trek Fuel ex. I bought it used in 2010. Its a 2009 bike that had been ridden once. So It’s 6 years old

    My “road bike” is a 1999 Orange Gringo hard tail that I think I bought new in 1999. So its 16 years old

    My main bike is an ’09 FSR.

    The oldest bike currently in my possession is a custom tourer built for me in ’87. Most of the parts on it are slightly newer, but not by much.

    10Yr old Kona Caldera HT. Had a few new bits over the years but still going strong. Forks even had the oil changed recently which made a massive difference.
    Still a great bike though.

    Hooker frame is 2 years old next week (reckon that’s some sort of record for me 😯 ). Most of the parts are a lot older though (cranks must be 10 years old at least, rims about the same although wheels have been rebuilt around several different hubs and brakes probably 8-9 years old and forks about 5 years old) – I don’t feel so bad about my frame-swapping habit now.

    9 months for my current Nukeproof Mega TR frame, although it is on its 4th shock. I think the oldest part of the bike is the rear hub body at 4 years old.

    My winter bike is a prototype 456 and my summer bike they stopped making in 2006 (it’s a brand new frame though… not sure how that counts).

    I’m not good enough to take advantage of modern stuff 😉

    My bikes evolve. New bits are added and old bits are taken away. Apart from the seat post on my 2004 enduro absolutely nothing is stock or over three years old.

    The main MTB has a frame about two years old, the rest of it was secondhand, so no idea!

    The main road bike is getting on towards it’s 9th year and probably around 60k miles.

    My main bike as in the one I ride most days is about 20 years old an orange p7 from the year they first came with v brakes . my main mountain biking bike is an sc super light about 13 or 14 years old in concept but it is a “Triggers broom” I think the forks and shock are the only original bits and the forks have had a serious overhaul.

    MTB doesn’t have many (any) original parts left apart from the frame.
    Road bike (with Ultegra) still has original shifters, derailleurs and brakes – still work well

    1993 mountain bike, though about to upgrade to a newer one – 1994.
    1992 26″ wheel “rough stuff” tourer.

    Tried a modern one – 2010 Orange R8. Just don’t like the geometry of longer forks.

    2010. Sort of. Possibly the suspension pivots are original but everything else has been replaced.

    Cannondale SL5 Trail Bought June 2013.
    BTWIN Triban 300 Bought January 2015

    Previous Carrera Vulcan 2009 sold to a guy on here. Was a cracking bike and was sad to see her go. The Cannondale was to get my missus into mountain biking so it was hers, she got spooked by a heavy fall at Gisburn forest so gave up.
