Raleigh MAX (1995) fully rigid steel, made in England – my way to and from work. This bike was completely re-vamped for commuting after a car ran over me/it in 2006. Drivers insurance paid so I went to town, wheels, drive-train, panniers etc.
Orange 5(2005) new F&R suspension and wheels in 2012 (tax rebate windfall).
Trek SLR(2006) but I’ve only had it since 2008, Road bike used alot initially but barely used these days so relatively glad I didn’t buy brand new.
Avanti Kiss(2010) Singlespeed, Steel, 29er – sucked in by the hype, originally rigid but now with 100mm of squidge. This has been my go to bike for 2 years now despite being fortunate enough to get all the new bits for the five.
