[Closed] What bike do you wish you hadn't sold?

Ti Ragley. Unlikely to find one, I've started thinking about a mmmbop

Kona Stinky 6. The original 2001 model I think. Loved that bike, should never have sold it.

I regret selling my CB500, but that's probably not what you're asking (-:

This one...

I still fancy another one. Bloody great fun. Like a 26" BMX. Everyone should own a Chameleon at some point

Orange C16R 1995 with Pace MXCD forks. My plan had always been to buy it back some time from the guy I sold it to. Sadly it got nicked from his house a few months after the sale (not by me I hasten to add!)

1996 P7 in Nickle with RS Judy SL and full XT.

Lovely lovely bike.

My ASR5. I should have stuck a 140mm fork on it for fun days out AND bought the Anthem as a race bike, instead of replacing it wholesale with the Anthem.

That said, the Anthem surprises me with its abilities with"only" 100mm travel.

GT Mach One BMX proper 80's one Redline Flight's etc etc

Gonna cost a fortune to get one the same again

After that probably my Marin Bear Valley SE

[i]1996 P7 in Nickle with RS Judy SL and full XT. [/i]

I kept my 1996 nickel P7 with the intention of getting it powder coated or just polishing then rebuilding. Last year I got the pace rc36 forks rebuilt by Tim at fork English and they looked brand new - new decals and new carbon brake bridges.

A few things happened this year that made me think holding onto the past isn't a good idea so I sold both items. I was happy with the price I got and happy I sold them. I do have the occasional 'did I do the right thing' moments, but yeh I think I did and I'm glad they're gone, its good to get rid of baggage.

Only my '89 Kona explosif.

Cove Shocker.

Broken bones + house move + 12 months away on business + generally having my head up my arse = decision to sell.

Regret it every time I'm at Ft Bill, Glencoe etc 🙁

Ask me in 2 months. I've never regretted selling a bike but I've just sold my last remaining MTB leaving me with 2 road bikes, a CX bike and a cargo bike.

It had done under 50 miles in 18 months so it was barely used but it was there if I needed it.

It's odd, if you'd have told my 25 year old self that in 10 years I'd own neither a car or an MTB I'd have laughed at you. Funny how things change.

Cotic Soul with 27.2 seat pin. Still not really sure why I sold it.

89 Explosiv, had one also great bike.

Andre Bertin C37 Corse

Always regret selling my Scandvik Hummer. It was a pig for chainsuck, but it was lovely.

Proper old Proflex, with Girvin forks...

Orange C16R 1995 with Pace MXCD forks.

Weird double-post!

One of the last Pace RC-300's built, I decided suspension was needed and traded for an Orange Sub 5, regretted it ever since!

2004 Spec Enduro Comp with Manitou Sherman firefly fork. 125mm travel was and still is all that's needed for most UK riding.

'96 Cindercone

My first 'mountain bike'; a specialized hardrock sport bought new for about £500 in maybe 1997? Only for sentimental reasons, although it would probably do fine as a pub bike now.
In fact, exactly like this one 🙂

2005 Blur, when the tubes were still straight. Was the bike or my marriage.

Bet the bike is still giving someone pleasure.......

This ****ing brilliant trail bike

Just need something with more travel 🙁

My GSX1100 Katana.

Regret selling my Turner 5.Spot. Lovely bike and my first proper FS.

Didn't sell it, but negligence led to my late 80s Specialised Stumpjumper (fully rigid etc) getting nicked. I cried (metaphorically) for months afterwards. It was just like this..

Ragley TD:1.
Best bike I think I've ever had. I regretted it the second the fella left.

199something Zaskar Le

AMP B3 and Mountain Goat Whiskey Town Racer.

A Saracen Zen, I sold it for a Prince Albert and regretted it since! Best fun bike I've ever ridden.

The Prince Albert was the worst! 🙁

sob, my trance X1 29er is on ebay rite now. Im not sure I should sell it but need to move on 🙁

I was going to say none. But maybe my 1997 marin team.

For the 130 quid I got for it, it would have been worth keeping for old times sake and using with a child seat.

Modern frames don't seem to fit my hamax seat.

My whyte46 ...loved that bike...I only sold it because it looked a bit dated and a bit much for just riding with my kid...
I might regret my next sale too...sworks Carbon stumpjumper
But then it's funds going to pay off my new rose fat bike...fun here I come...I too old for speed now....well the riding version anyway!!.....lol

All of them! A problem with running a bike shop when you love bikes.

1990 team Marin. I consider that my first "real" mountain bike. Certainly the first one that was actually the right size.

Bikes I'd love to have again are probably some of the BMX's I had in the mid-late 90's. A rebadged Curtis specifically. Outdated in 1995, but fillet-brazed 531 BMX frames aren't ten a penny now! Weird shape though!
Reynolds Racing Fresh 40 too.
MTB's; the only one I've regretted selling was a 2008 GT peace 9'r. Way underrated bike.

2002 cannondale F800 lefty (in matt black)

sold in a moment of stupidity,regretted it ever since.

It's the best 29er I've ridden.

97 GT Zaskar. Hand snapped off by a buyer in Germany. After I left the post office from sending it off I had one of those WT actual F have I just done moments.

Also had an S-Works Enduro which I sold.

Oh, and a Pace RC303 which was newly built up but I'd gone a bought a medium and it was just too small for me after if was all finished.

My first FS a GT RTS, awsome bike for the time.

The only bike I wish I'd never sold is this one...

But it probably doesn't count.

An Orbea Orca. Didn't ride it much then, but would now!

overburys pioneer

bsa. a10. £110
350 triumph £90
royal enfield 250 £70

far too many bikes to still try, done have time to regret selling any.
