First time round:

Some no-name kid's bike
Raleigh Budgie
Raleigh Strika
Scotia/Tange BMX
Raleigh Marauder Index
Carrera Krakatoa Flex (still got this one)

Then a gap, then
Carrera Kraken 2008 spec
Replaced all the bits til it became an On One Scandal
Replaced half the bits again and it became my Soul
Then, built a GT I-drive 5 from a frame and from leftover parts.

And that's it… Not much out there that I'd want to replace the Soul with other than a newer model Soul so that's an evolutionary dead end 🙂 The Idrive's really just a spare, I don't feel much need for a bigger or "better" bike now.

i missed a rocky ridge, which i sold to e3ther, and a 22'' kona hoss which i gace to nodrog for a charity bike build.

I love threads with endless lists.
