amount of bikes i have owned since 16 years of age.
i am slightly embarrassed. 😳
well played Ton - good knock !
I saw the forum thread and was about to say that you give us all hope, coming from a 42 year old etc...
But I feel I may of been duped.
i have at least two parts from a bike of yours from years ago
One of those you like doing it so its your choice
I average a new bike about every 3-5 years and its usually worn out/obsolete when i get rid
6ty, chuffin 1 ? 😆
That’s a lot.
Have a pork pie and a lie down..

I wish you were one of my customers 🙂
Just totted mine up.....only 30 (so far).
Well played sir, well played 😀
What was your favourite and which was the worst?
I'm at 43 since 16 going from my photobucket but there were a number of bikes on there I'd forgotten I even had til I saw them so who knows how many I've forgotten lol and I'm way younger than you so I've time yet 😉
What was your favourite and which was the worst?
favourite was the ventana el capitan. possibly the only one to truly fit me. awesome bike.
worst was a gary fisher fat possum. made from recycled rubber bands. rear end flexed so much the tyre rubbed on the stays even when seated.
most expensive mistake was the jones plus.
Take hope bonobo: 62 (not quite as many bikes) but only been riding for 6/7 years. I’ll get there.
Hope you’ve enjoyed the journey getting to that number.
You've played well, but it would be a crime to miss out on your century.
Including a BSO and 3road bikes I'm had 10 bikes in total from the age of 16-39 and still manage to ride at least once a week.

Over how many years ton? I've managed 14 in the last 28 years so not in your league
Fatbike....
Get.It.Done.
Is that more than Hora?
15 for me , including two BSO’s and I’m 48......must try harder)
11 bikes since the age of 16 (22 years).
14 at 38, can we see the worm for that one

Ton, do you break them or are you constantly searching for perfection? Or just curious what's out there, putting upgrade claims to the test?

i just like cycling and bikes mate. always have.
also i am a life long cycle commuter. a new bike every year is still far far cheaper than being a car commuter.
also, why have toast every day for breakfast, when there is a whole menu to work your way through. 8)
Since age 16 I’ve had 22 bikes (still have 7) and aged 16 years
I like toast.

There's enough fat on his bikes as it is!
Only funning Tony! 😛
I like toast.
life is such mate.
Started at 13 now 39 and have honestly lost count! (similar amount to Ton I suspect, if I could be bothered to list them all) I have always worked in bike shops though, I expect that accelerates the rate of change, ’Oooh, shiny new frame/fork/widget, I NEED one, put it on the account!’ Not helped by colleagues egging you on!
Started biking again at 20, nearly 30 now, into nearly 20 bikes I reckon, never any more than 3 at once......
