[Closed] All your bikes

he he, I don't have all night. It'd just be a much bigger list. Probably something to be ashamed of.

Aw.. dull lists nobody reads are what this forum was built on

Funnily enough I was sat at my Mum's last night counting all my bike builds since getting into MTB in 1991, when after announcing that I'd bought yet another new frame, she asked if I knew how many I'd built. Yes, I did make a list . . . no, I'm not going to post it 😳 . . . and today's build was number 100! 😯

It's a sign!

GW - Just a personal mental experiment wondering if you can remember all your bikes. I don't think I can - pretty close but not there entirely.

Anyway, no need to be a dick eh?

el_bouf - I wasn't actually even replying to you, but now you've got my attention I actually can remember every single bike I've ever owned since I was 4yrs old, it's well over 150 but there's not a chance I'm typing them out for strangers to (not) read. FWIW I didn't even read your list when I opened your thread, I've ridden thousands of other peoples bikes too and can probably remember every one of those, ironically now I've actually read your list I see you don't even remember the paltry amount you yourself have owned making it even duller (or should that be interesting?) than I ever could have imagined. if that makes me a dick in your eyes then so be it 😉

Ps. "a personal mental experiment" should probably stay in your own head 😛

I actually can remember every single bike I've ever owned since I was 4yrs old, it's well over 150

Ooh, get you... Bet you can't!

El bouf, ignore GW, he's obviously got out of the wrong side of bed this morning. I was interested enough to read your list, but can't remember all my childhood bikes. (only had/still have three 'adult' bikes).

Are belong to us?

and various swapping of bits and upgrading of the above (including a 69er)

I Only run 1 do-it-all bike now a Genesis Altitude which is ACE. It hasnt had the best components of previous models I have had, but it
does the commute to work, does the local woods, does trail centres, does it all (all I do anyhow)

A green machine similar to this:

followed by this beauty (once I had save up enough money):

Then one of these, only with red wheels:
