As part of my Retrobike addiction I got a bike which I always wanted and are really really rare, a 1991 Rocky Mountain Experience. The free ride bike of its day, their version of a Cannondale BOTE. I sold it to buy a Dave Lloyd Beez Knees which I never really bonded with and I still regret it, that RM was the best climbing bike I had ever ridden and just so so cool. (sobs....)

I reckon those sort of designs suffered a lack of evolutionary development, rather than being intrinsically bad.

Being expensive meant most people weren't prepared to give these sort of designs a second chance (understandably).

Dawes Freedom as I would like to try steel again and that was loverly to ride on Tarmac or Dirt!

Looking back I shouldn't have sold my Stiffee 69'er.

Just sold a few bikes, great memories but have to move on and create anew.

A 2010 Gary Fisher Big Sur - a great fit and fast - replaced it with a Scandal v2 which I hated and have now gone back to a 26" hardtail for xc albeit now in carbon. You live and learn [img] [/img]

Sold my glittery brown steel on one 456 that I'd built up, sold it and bought a fat bike, yep what a d*ck! Fat bike gone and now built a carbon 456 and in the process of building up my Cove stiffee 😉

I've never sold a bike ever. Had one stolen in 1997, does that count?

I currently own nearly every bike I've ever owned. That's ten bikes. Does that make me some kind of weirdo?

No regrets though! I can still ride every one of them any time I want... and they're all still ace, in their own ways.. 8)

This, as good as the Stanton is that replaced it, there was just something about it that makes me want it back!
