awaiting arrival of newest frame shortly 😆
I'm definitely not worthy, but, since 1975:
'75 (new) Dawes Chevron (got nicked at Uni)
'83 (new) AN Other Peugeot road bike (insurance replacement for the Dawes (sold to ex-girlfriend's ex-boyfriend)
'92 (new) Marin Palisades Trail (sold to neighbour)
'99 (SH) Marin Mount Vision (Ebayed)
'03 (SH) Titus Switchblade (still got)
'03 ish (SH) Saracen Kili Race (the mag one, still got the frame and not bust yet)
'09 (SH) PX Kaffenback (still got)
'11 (new) BeOne Raw carbon hardtail (still got)
Pretty restrained really, although acquisitions seem to be increasing exponentially.
Since I started this MTB stuff a few years ago:
BeOne Stella
On One Inbred
Specialized Pitch Pro (still have)
On One Inbred (earlier model with chainstay bridge and my favourite On-One)
On One Inbred 853

Also have a singlespeed Inbred for child carrying duty.
My extensive list

2009 Marin Indian Fire Trail - still got, being eyed by the 12 year old
2011 Anthem x1 - main ride now
Edit - I bet that each bike on the list cost more than all the previous ones put together - wonder if there's some kind of rule there!
The billion dollar question is whether mama will exceed ton's tally? 😆
