I have 7 bikes, everyone is underbiked for its intended use.
I am the most underbiked here, even if I sold all my bikes I wouldn't be underbiked.
I've won road races on my DH rig, Dh races on my track bike YOU NAME IT!

Old Patriots are almost like today's trailbikes though
I think I'm taking my Hemlock to Glentress at teh weekend, where I'll be as overbiked as **** and loving it.

A singlespeed Alu framed hardtail with an air sprung fork and some fire xc pro tyres make me well overbiked for Cannock to be honest, a CX bike would probably cope just as well.

I'm off to Swinley after work on the Pitch, might even dig the full face out

I rode my 8" Front / 7" Rear DH race bike to the 24hr garage at 2.30am the other morning. Was this too much bike?
I was also using super tacky high rollers on tarmac.
What bike for slightly inebriated trips to the garage after midnight?

clearly you need a recumbent for that

I will be massively overbiked tomorrow. I will be using a 160mm F and 150mm R bike for pulling the kids around Sutton Park in a trailer.

is using a road bike for commuting 3 miles to work not 'overbiked' as well though? you don't need those aero advantages and light weight for a 3 mile pootle. Same as a light xc bike? if you're not racing, surely its overkill for a ride round surry hills?
I've taken a 7" bike up leith hill before. Lots of fun to be had

I only have one mountain bike too - my Pitch gets used for everything from the Megavalanche to pootles round gentle country bridleways. I'm terribly terribly sorry.

you're not over-biked, you're future-proofed.

Rode around Silverstone racetrack for a charity event on a 7" travel full sus bike, how dare I!
There was another guy on a GT downhill bike, shouldn't be allowed.Nice to know i'm causing distress to narrow minded butt holes when I venture onto the Glentress Blue trails with 7" of travel.

I'd say you are only overbiked on XC trails (lifts allowed at D/H courses) if you can't pedal the bike to the top of the hill you wanna ride down, if you can reach the top, you are within the gnarly allowance guidelines.

There is a Downhill section to one side of Leith Hill, thinks locals made it.
