Hands up if you only own ONE bike and what is it?

Almoghtydutch +1

Do it all bike , enough for UK

Got four…and all used at different times of year, but i do remember the joy of only owning one and the spare cash it left me in my back pocket…As if…

Currently riding a Mondraker Foxy (and commuting on it too!)

Just the – 2010 Lapierre Zesty with some upgrades here and there.

Would love a garage so could increase the numbers a bit but the wallet is pretty happy with things as they are 🙂

5 spot.

Merlin Malt 3, rigid, used primarily for towpath commute.

Only one at the moment a 2007 stumpy fsr custom build and custom powder coat. However the new ht should arrive next week a Merida O nine pro 1000d 😆

I went from a hardtail + 140mm full suss + downhill bike to this

and i havent looked back….mind it all coincided with a reality check on my riding.
Play the percentages, one proper bit of kit for the main type of riding you do and just accept that its ok for the “now and then’s”

What more could a man want 🙂 now with Lyriks

2009 Orange 5, 50th birthday present from me to me.

Cannondale prophet with 150mm revs , single pivot simplicity.

Transition Bandit.

As of tomorrow ASR5 with 140mm forks

Ns surge. One gear. Zocchi 44s.

Santa Cruz Blur TRc with 140 revs, 1×10, flows and a dropper, lighter than I need (could lose plenty off my gut tbh!) but strong enough for anything I ride regularly. Could have easily made do with the Evil Sovereign it replaced as the geo is similar, but I enjoy the rear squish 😀

Hesitate to post this but only have a roadie at the moment. Sold antique Marin East Peak in the spring ‘cos I thought I was through with MTB……but now want another……..just can’t think how I can afford it!

Recovering bike-a-holic – sold 2 this year.

Can’t see how you can do without 4 really….

Road bike
XC race bike (prob a carbon 29er)
AM full suss (wales / annual morzine trip)
Hack hard tail (commuting & winter mud miles)

P7

(2008 MkII before they frigged with it).

Yes, a Kona Cindercone 2012. Have changed the handlebars, pedals and tyres, that is it. It does everything. Always had just one bike, prior to this it was a Ragley Blue Pig and prior to that it was a Kona Blast 2010. The pig was lovely, but like a brick. The Blast was the starter, but soon found its limitations. The Cindercone is just right….the proverbial third bowl of porridge.

My Pitch is my only bike since I broke my Soda, perfect bike for the Lakes IMHO.
I have a road bike but that doesn’t count 😉

sonofapitch+2

Bone stock except for Nanos. Used for everything, including a 7 mile each way commute when it’s dry..

My only mountain bike is a Pitch, does that count?

Helius. That is all 🙂

Just the Mojo…

Ragley Blue Pig X

And as promised: The Meta.

Specced out with a XT drivetrain, Deore cranks (on the upgrade list) Revelation 429 fork and a fox RP23 at the back. Mavic CrossRide wheels under all the mud (soon to be replaced) and the 2012 XT brakes to stop me.

My only mountain bike Malt4

My Only bike is an On One Inbred, rigid, singlespeed. 😈

If I had to have only one it would be my Kinesis Crosslight Pro6. Does everything my road and mountain bikes can do.

GB

Genesis core 40 singlespeed, coil RS fork so its easy to service. I don’t want more than one bike, I’d always have a favourite anyway.

Need want more hope stuff – avid brakes/shimano hubs are a PITA to service sometimes 🙁

Ibis Mojo SL-R.

I do however have a Scott Scale 50 frame probably enough spares to build it back up.

No. I seem to be going the other way again. I’m reasonably relaxed about that 😉 Loved the pic on the first page – lovely sky. Shame about the Marin 😉

Despite owning a bikeshop I ony have one bike.
Merida 0.9
Ride/Race/Commute.

Rocky Mountain Altitude.

Only space in my pad for one bike, my SC Blur TRc, its more than capable for the rding I do.

Yeti ASR5, my do it all bike. Wouldn’t want anything else.

Kona hei hei supreme.. full suss but rides like a hardtail.

My one and only bike , well if I don’t count the motorbike 😉 pardon decor but its the rubbish fire station store room , soon to be knocked down

I only own own bike, but its the only bike I need. Its a Soul 😀

On One Scandal, original ‘actually scandium’ model. Commute on slicks, change to nobblies to have fun. Love it
