Because it was my 40th birthday present from my lovely wife.
Dave..........not bad mate.
trying to keep positive.

Because it's just 'right' for what i want.

Because it was cheap and cheerful and makes me grin when i ride it
[img][url= http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5163/5328515506_8576fefcda.jp g" target="_blank">
Because, even though i hardly ride it, it reminds me of who i am and where i'm from (that sounds a bit rubbish :oops:)

Will be like so by the end of the week hopefully, Excuse my rubbish photo shopping skills. Also has 90mm stem now.
I like it because its my only bike, and it rides pretty darn good considering the spec.
Quick question, is there anything wrong with my garden? 😉
this may look familiar !! 😀

Because it doesn't break.
(Am however thinking about going back to steel (had a Trailstar for years before this) - same build (although maybe longer forks too), just on a BFe frame).
slainte ➡ rob
And here's my other bike. Dunno if I'd say I love it but it's good for fitness rides. Gets more use than my mtb as we don't have much interesting off road but loads of nice quiet flattish country roads.

Now that the trails are dry, it's the most fun I can have without killing myself, even more than my hardtail.
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Because it makes me wonder why I have two mountain bikes and a road bike, when this does it all.
[img] 
[/img]
Because it has grown with me into the bike I always wanted...
[img] 
[/img]
It's better than i can ride, but this is where it likes to be...
[img] 
[/img]
This is the favourite at the moment, because it's the one I've been riding almost everytime I've been out recently.
Love it 'cos it's orange and I've got it back 😛

I still reserve the right to whinge about the lack of [s]travel[/s] skill compensation (in fact negotiations are underway for something, er, bigger to fall off on the d/h track) but Gibson ain't going anywhere this time.
Take care Ton.

Pig ugly, but so much fun to ride.
[img] 
[/img]
Just a really great bike to ride. If I'm not riding it I get withdrawal symptoms.
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
Because, it's light, handles great and I can ride a long way and climb lots, fast...
[img]

With a new set of "race day" wheels it will soon be a lot lighter, which will mean...
I can ride a long way and climb lots, faster 😀
Commuter (yawn!)

Thought I'd build and try, now almost the first out to be abused
It makes me smile and performa far better than I do 🙂
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
Cos it does everything I ask of it and more....... very pretty to 🙂
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
Mine looks like this 🙁
[img] 
[/img]
Luckily its not my only ride, mainly riding this atm:
[img] 
[/img]
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
I like it but I also have my eye on a full susser
[img] 
[/img]
I love it 'cause it's light and fast.
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
built it up with the intention of doing the megavalanche
due to lack of funds and rubbish mates I haven't got there yet
I love the bike, but could do with something smaller around here
The Ti456, now has Floats on it....
[img] 
[/img]
Cos it handles everything i can throw at it..... 😉
Kermit......

My 40th b.day prezzie.... 😛

Because it's lovely and blue.
[img] 
[/img]
Because it feels like it's always got more travel in reserve, climbs ok and descends like a mother. I know the back tyre looks weird; I found out it was punctured after the photo!
Alas, this will turn into a Cotic Soul within the next week. Boys and their toys 🙄
I forgot to say why i like mine. Because it's got almost no toe overlap even though it's tiny.

because it's steel, it's blue, it's British and i luv hammering natural trails with it 🙂
tracer, custom paint

awesome full suss, luv bombing the trail centres with it 🙂

it's a good skills compensator for them trails i shouldnie be on 😆

Rides like a big BMX and is never going to break.
why? cos it's so much fun! i loved my old kona but it was a wee bit short. also, i couldn't run a rear disc and tyre clearance meant i couldn't run anything bigger than 2.2". this one is so much fun! as soon as i start riding, i don't wanna turn back - i feel like i could carry on for ever!
[img] 
[/img]
Because it was set up perfectly and so much fun until it was stolen
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
This is EVEN BETTER and is such a joy to ride

Dunno really, maybe coz it's orange, maybe coz it's steel made by a bloke called Mike, maybe coz it's new - whatever it is I bloody love it!!
