[Closed] One bike

yeah, it's called a mountain bike.
Most verstile bikes in the world 😛

One bike? you're a f***in' weirdo for even suggesting it! 😀
(but if it had to be - a top end roadbike I'm afraid!)

I assume a hardtail then..?

I only have one bike at the minute which does a bit of everything. DMR Trailstar 🙂

456.

It can be re-welded/bodged if it snaps.
Has rack mounts for touring ect...
Goes well on the rough stuff.
Cheap.

1 hardtail, with a second set of wheels, forks, drive, finishing kit, brakes and frame.

Hardtail. Alloy or steel - I don't mind. rack mounts and ebb. Hub gears. Zocchi open bath fork.

I'm quite happy with what I've got. Maybe some spare 36s for alps and the like?

I only ride one bike at a time so depending on which one I pick I find it just puuuuurrrrrrfect everytime...

orange five please!

My sliding dropout inbred. Has been run as a singlespeed but can easily be run with gears, disc of v-brakes, saddle up=comfy xc and saddle down=chuckable. A bike I could do anything on.

I just find my coiler a LOT of fun...

Cove Stiffee, with dual air Revs, dual ring, proII/Flows, that kind of setup.
Got a Stiffee with single ring, pikes, proII/flows as my only bike at the moment.

+1 for 456
It's my only bike.. it's all I need or want
although a lottery win would possibly change my philosophy

I'm happy with my bike - it's all I need 🙂

456Ti

What tj said except no ebb, sliding dropouts way better.

one of them orange alpines but with a lifetime guarantee.

So you're only allowed one bike for the rest of your life - what will it be?

Divorce 😉

something like the new spesh enduro or a marin 140 (now 150?)
can ride up and still batter the downs.

oh yeah after reading that post up there ^^
i'll definitely have an orange alpine 160 please!

P7 no doubt about it 😛

itd be a steel hardtail that takes 80-120 mm fork so you can swap out forks. rigid in winter, uturn (reba?) in summer kinda thing.
then....
a set of 700c disk wheels with 32c cross tyres for a cx bike with a set of 26 with 2.2 knobblies for mtb

need to have obviously matching rotors/watch cassete chain wear on wheelsets and of course a second crown race on the 2nd fork

even better if you have adjustable dropouts like inbreds/explosivesso you have the ss option...but defo make sure you get the right size! or the whole idea crumbles!

this is exactly what im doning right now...

iv turned 3 runners and 3 "spare" frames and far too many parts down to 1...well nearly.

after 8 years in the bike trade it leaves you a bit weighed down and fussy.

Five Pro with perforance pack - can do everything from all day xc excursions to black trail centre type stuff.

I will get a set of flats and 36 forks for the alps.

Surly Crosscheck?

Something with swappable dropouts like the NS Surge or one of the DMRs with em would be best 🙂

If it had to be one much as it pains me I'd let the Ventana go and buy a 456 Ti

maybe have a couple of wheel sets to make it easy to swap to slicks etc 🙂

But just could you do without the pressure washer?

My On-One Ti cx.

Just one bike I'll take a hardtail...currently my inbred!
(i've got another hardtail and I'm getting a road bike soon but the inbred is the one I'd keep!)

Sorry all you baggy shorted types, but i'd have my roadbike.
