[Closed] What bike you riding most right now?

The winter roadbike:-(

Just spent 2 weeks in the alps with my intense slopestyle. So that!

Mid 90's GT Timberline set up on the turbo trainer 🙁

The road bike.
Scott CR1.
I've forgotten what a mountain bike is.

Cannondale super six.

roadbike

Hahaha I thought I was going mad.

This.

I've given up protecting the 'posh' road bike from the "summer" and accepting it's going to get grotty. Treated it to a proper strip and rebuild this afternoon though - in readiness for a long morning's ride around the hills tomorrow. The Tripster is firmly placed between it and the wall for now - until I need to ride in torrential rain again (probably tomorrow knowing my luck). The Camber's had a few runs out too of late.

the road bike, the Top fuel hasn't been used since May, i think, might be April can't remember.

2012 Boardman Hybrid comp.

Mostly 'cos i'm doing the 52 mile London Bikeathon later this summer on it and need to get some miles in...

Bought some proper roadie shoes for it this week, will be my first ride clipped-in tomorrow so am expecting to fall over at some point!

my charge filter, a 'cx' bike.
fitted some better mudguards on it (stock ones are truly crap)
its just easier to cover more miles, plus im sick of wearing components out in the slop on my mtb.
(i use the term 'cx' loosely, its more like a road bike with disc brakes for biffers, which tbh, i am)

This past fortnight, my bling roadbike on the smooth roads of the midi-pyranees
From monday, fixed wheel commuter.
MTB is easy as I only have a singlespeed rigid 29er

None sadly.
Still recovering from my op.
But if I coud it would be either this:

Or this:

Whyte 829 mostly as the carbon version only comes out on race day

Pretty much even between my ti brompton and my custom 853 featch mudguard bike.
Admittedly it'll be 6/4 Merlin tomorrow :o)

road bike

My Charge Tap road bike weirdly.

My Decathlon Rockrider 8xc/8.2 mash up. Only one I have, but she gets used in all weathers.

Pretty much even between my ti brompton

*Jealous face*

This beats them all for all round fun feedback.

My Curtis XC9, just about hits the spot every time I ride it, mind I'm on Dartmoor tomorrow on the Nicolai so that should be a blast too

lovely wolfhound there bonesetter

Road bike, for commuting. I've just been diagnosed with a hip that needs replacing (48 ffs) so Mrs Scape has banned me from riding the 140. She's away for the weekend so I sneaked 30 miles on the XC bike today just to get some mileage in.

Mostly my road and CX bike on the road.

I did venture out on my mtb and then this happened. So back to the road then.

my gryphon it makes me smile soo much, bought a bandit 29 earlier in year have hardly had chance to ride it with all the shit weather looking forward to riding that soon

Surly steamroller ss pub bike with a PDW take out basket for hauling carnival week Chinese and beer.

Sold Yeti ASR C
Sold Scandal
Sold XTC 29ER
Just me and my Fargo,sleep happy

Actually been pretty mixed, spent about the same time on the Hemlock and the dh bike lately. But the Hemlock's getting boxed up for the alps and the dh bike needs some tlc so it'll be the Camber for the time being or the road bike.

29er salsa el mariachi with rigid fork
Build for winter but still Useing it. Partley because Ive got the bug and partly weather is still rubbish

Beer bike has been out a bit too 1950 gran sport that's perfect to leave in town or a cafe

Road bike but I feel it doesn't count as a proper bike so at the minute it's this.. learnt to manual race track rollers earlier 😀

[IMG] [/IMG]

I switch between my hardtail mtb and full sus on what seems to be a weekly basis so neither of them really have a properly cemented place in my "quiver" 😆

Like rocketdog I'm mostly riding a 2004 vintage Spesh Enduro lately. I've two much more modern bikes in the garage, but the Enduro just nails it every time.

97'dale beast of east ,ridden 5 times this week to work and back its my guilty pleasure,JPS scheme and rubbish J3 (swop bomber) its 1 mile a day extra ?

This and only this. Everything else is back in the parts bins, somewhat amused that on a mountain bike forum lots of peeps choose road bikes when the going gets muddy - always thought that was part of the fun!:

Reet, dawn patrol of deepest darkest Dorsetshire is calling. TTFN.

Vintage / classic / obsolete steel road bike ...

mtbs all needing TLC 🙁

A big porcelain one right now.

Another one for the road I'm afraid

Another one for a roadie, i just don't have the time to get to cannock or anywhere else at the moment. Family stuff just taking over, at least with my roadie i can just hop on do an hour then back to reality.

The roadie in question is a Giant Rapid 4, the gutting thing is i have a brand new speshi sat in the bike cupboard just need a free day to get out.

Mostly riding my Fargo at present.

Weekends for bouncy bike and two or three days on the skinny bike. In hours, that means mtb wins. Phew.

There is mud and there is mud and after 20+years i have got tired of the cleaning, the wearing out, the hassle, expense, etc.

It's been the road bike for most of the last 2 months, especially since I have less time due to mini-me coming on the scene and the weather being so rubbish and I don't see the point in destroying the natural trails in the woods near me.

Then perhaps the Golf Course beckons? 😯

Been riding since c1990 and still having a hoot in the mud.
30K ride round Dorset's muddy trails this morning, covered in mud, quick hose of the bike, lube, shower for me and ready for more fun.
Go on, get dirty, you know you want to really! 😀

Surprisingly my Scalp has been used more than anything else recently.

[img] [/img]

Orange Blood everyday at the moment. It's looking a right mess due to the mud but for someone who is particularly anal about maintenance, I just can't be arsed cleaning it.

This bike, despite yet another disfunctional RP23, is rapidly turning into my all time fave.

456 summer season hardtail as I've just cracked my Niner RIP9. Fairly noticable difference in ride quality!

My winter bike! I bought a SS Inbred with carbon forks back in April as I decided I'd like a winter bike next year but it's pretty much been my go-to bike since. It's pretty crap but I'm enjoying it

[IMG] [/IMG]

For me it's this one..

My most "do it all" bike... The Trek Fuel EX full custom.ove that bike, can really do it all!

Mostly this

But had a play on this this morning

Which was nice

My fixed gear TT bike. You want niche? You can't handle the niche.

Surly Pugsley.

😛

Loving my Ute more than any other at the moment.

another road bike here. Only bought it last year and hadnt ridden road for 20yrs prior. Really found my road mojo and the advantage of being able to just get out for an hour or so when opportunity arises.

Havent ridden off-road since a week with bikeverbier end of june. Off to North wales for a few days next week with the mtbs and hopefully will be dry enough to re-capture my enthusiasm for off road.

Mainly my road bike recently as the local paths are sodden and I haven't felt like driving to more sustainable trails.

I thought this was supposed to be a mountain biking forum? Everyone is on a road bike it seems.

2010 alloy epic with a 120 fork.

Indeed. Normally take the mtb as preference, but for commuting at the mo it's just easier to take the roadie.

Road bike - Van Nicholas Mistral

I've almost stopped mountain biking as my local trails are pretty much underwater and I don't seem to have the time to go away for a full MTB day anymore. However, I do still love mountain biking so will go back to it once the road bike novelty wears off.

Now on holiday in the lakes, and have brought the giant anthem rather than the road bike ( see above). First ride included hub deep puddle - but I can feel the road bike fitness in my legs. I'll carry on doing both.

Thankfully (at last) we have seen the sun for a few days this summer so I have been able to justify this.

Little vid of me doing said roller manual on my favourite bike as posted above 🙂 feels so good when you get em smooth!

I've separated my shoulder being rubbish at DH, so I'm using my Boardman team CX to ride the singletrack. It's probably good for my legs, as I have to sit and spin.

Only a couple of weeks back after a broken arm. Only commuting but hoping to be able to get off road in the next week or 2.

Depend how you define fun!

I'm all for a bit of slippery slidey action, but on my usual "spin the legs for a bit of fitness in the evenings rather than watch TV" loop there's an option to add in a few miles of bridleway. It's under a foot of mud and took me over an hour and a half to cover 5 miles and would have been quicker to leave the bike at the start, walk it, then walk back down the normal route and pick it up!* Doing that once was a bit different, a bit of an adventure, and when it wasn't calf deep in horse shit, fun. Doing it every night would be self abuse!

I'm currently riding my rigid Singular Swift as it's the best at copeing with they shitty conditions whilst still being a bundle of fun on the occasional dry(ish) decent.

*And it's not the worst one, there's another one which just skirts arround the border of soem fields before droping into some woodsy singletrack, that remained passible even over the winter. It's so wet that water is flowing out of the hillside and down the fields in continuous strems!

For me its more about where I live. Would probably be on the mtb more if I lived closer to somewhere decent to ride, but I can't be arsed with driving an hour or two to ride in the rain or a bog. Besides most of my riding is jumps etc which tend to be crap in the wet and it can ruin the lips if it's too soft..

what could possibly go wrong?

This seems to be a who's the biggest geek thread

This seems to be a who's the biggest geek thread

but all done in the best possible taste..?

Singular Hummingbird rigid singlespeed and Trek Top Fuel 69er are probably getting the most use at the minute.

My dinosaur-like Trek Madone gets about 90% of my riding time at the moment! At most a weekly ride on the MTB.
