About 2 years.

Unidentified secondhand cheap Italian road bike, from Moston Cycles.
Way too big, 'He'll grow into it'.
🙂

Nicked from the garden within seconds of me getting off it.
Gutted beyond belief.

I kept thinking about getting a touring bike and eventually went for a Kaffenback but as soon as it arrived I saw someone selling a nice Galaxy on here so bought that and sold the Kaffenback on here to someone who was frustrated as there was no stock left.

4 weeks.
Trek fuel ex9 with the crappy DRCV fox forks, dived mid corner when you needed some support, pitched me over the bars at FOD!

Horrible thing, sold and bought a Blur LTc which I've now had for 2 years, which bizarrely is the longest I've owned a bike for a long time!

Been a few. A Curtis and Cotic Solaris spring to mind as only lasting a few months. We just didn't get on.

Built a Specialized Tarmac up. Hated the way it looked and rode, so sold it after one ride.

Ti456 was sweet with CK hubs. XTR, thomson etc finished building it in my garage and went to my neighbours for a quick chat. Came back and it was nicked, never even got a chance of riding up the street on it.

six months with a kona unit. loved it but it was a 'dipping my toe in the whole single speed thing' fling. happened at the same time as i moved from the city centre to the hilly countryside.

Didn't sell it on ebay to a guy on his way to Suffolk did you? 🙂

Sold my '88 Kona Cindercone to buy an Alpinestars CroMega DX.
Only then realised all bikes were NOT the same and sold it after a month to buy a Kona Explosif.

The shortest was probably an On-One Pompetamine Alfine 11...God it was dull.

I sell frames, not bikes, but made an exception for this Bugger 🙂

Bought an orange 5 frame, built it up, sat on it in the garage, dismantled it, sold it.
This has got to be a winner, hasn't it?

Bought a SS inbred off here. Missed the courier, he returned when I was out. Wife took the delivery. In my absence Her superior detective skills worked out I'd bought another bike I didn't need. By the time I got back there was no doubt it was not getting as far as the shed.

Does your wife occasionally take your balls out of her handbag, or are they permanently in there?
