[Closed] How many this year then??

Only one for me the 456 I got about a month ago. Before that it was a Kona Cinder Cone. Saving for the wedding so dont have much spare for bikes!

EDIT thats forgetting my singlespeed commuter that I built up and have now stripped back down again!

3 builds this year, 2 hacks for my friends to use and a ss for me 😀 roll on next year!

Only one new roadie commuter this year - plus a little Ridgeback for my lad.

I'd like to have high hopes for next year but job/finances are in the balance

Built up a budget Stumpjumper for my brother and swapped my Dialled Alpine frame to a Cotic BFe so Ive built two bikes up I guess.

2 -
cheap winter road frame built up with bits off my old roadie
specialized tarmac expert (now in hibernation)

Have sold 3 pairs of forks, 2 singlespeed frames, some wheels

Just two, Dialed bikes Morning Glory - very nice but a tad to small so sold on after a dozen rides & an 08 Mount Vision which is as sharp as a razor with a nice light build!

Three for me.

A proper road bike on C2W and a commuter hybrid not on C2W 😆

And a Nicolai Helius I bought the frame 2nd hand and built it up with bits off a bike I sold 😀

2 - 1)Marin Rocky Ridge on CTW

2)Cheap commuter/hack bike = to actually ride to work!! 😉

what!!!!!!!!!! i thought 1 was normal! lol

none

Got a Remedy 8 about 3 months ago,love it,never really been over-biked before.

A quiet but good year bikes wise..

just my race bike, a giant xtc carbon.

Ah, think I'm gonna sell the whole Dialled PA and the Intense 5.5 frame.
Get a nice new FS frame and leave it at that.
Have a nice long trip to canada planned. Gonna need the money (and bike!).

Sold my 2007 Orange 5.

Bought a cheap n cheerful early 90's Raleigh steel framed road bike, a 2009 Orange 5 Pro and just about to take delivery of a Cove Handjob.

Not bad considering i spent the first 6 months of this year unemployed!

just the one for me, Giant Trance. Love it, pretty quick and its an ideal for trail centres and all day epics!

Either a Road bike or a Big DH bike for next year.

just one for myself....bought a 2nd hand 2005 sworks enduro, couldnt really afford a big new shiny bike, going to sell it tho and get either an orange 5 or a lapierre or a commencal brand new in the summer

2 for me, built up an 05 Stumpjumper for trails & fun & have a Trailstar that I've still got to put together, probably be springtime before it's going 🙁

two for me - bianchi 928 and rock lobster. two best bikes i've ever owned.

Took apart a Cannondale R3000 and built a Cervelo Soloist. 2008 was an expensive year and the Mrs wasn't forgetting it (R3SL :-))

Seven - Funny year for bikes. I will be getting non for the next couple.

New "bike bike" in Feb - Titus El Guapo - lovely.....

[img] [/img]

New hardtail - Boardman that became a Cove handjob (only counting as 1)

Spotted this on here the day we found out we got our bonus for the year and always want to try a SS (tried it, didn't like it, too lazy). But loved the look of it.

[img] [/img]

A cheap Ebay BMX for local pump track (sorry no picture). Quickly discovered my BMX days are long gone, so sold it and the singlespeed (also not for me) and got a DMR sidekick, so I'm down with the kids (not)

[img] [/img]

So all was good, Titus, Cove and DMR, then some ****ers stole my Cove and wifes fsr XC, so we got these as replacements

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

So technical 6 for me and 1 for her. To be fair it was a strange year, no new bikes last year and normally only 1 a year (HT 1 year and FS the next)

Just bought one, but it was my first 'crosser and also my first singlespeed. Regret selling the MTB (even though it was to my nephew who's been happily enjoying it since) as I've yet to replace it.

Charge duster (sold now), santa cruz blur (sold now), ti 456, felt sector bmx, inbred ss
Think will stick with the last 3 for 2010 - plus my cheap roadbike.

Just the one, an Orbea Orca with SRAM Red, Cosmic Carbone wheels. It's very pretty. I choose road bikes on looks.

I haven't bought a bike this year. My bike's just so damn good, I don't want nothin' new. 😉

Can't quite believe this thread is an hour old and no sign of Ton yet, perhaps he's trying to remember them all 😉

Oh and its 3 for me April saw my first 29er which was a Viper 29er then in summer i got an old Peugeot pub bike off of a mate and finally I've just finished building the Singular Swift.

Hoping for 3 more for next year 😛

Yeah, Ton'l still be counting 😉 .

I've got nothing planned for next year . . . yet (especially with two of my lads planning uni for September) but it was a quick browse of my [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/c317596.html ]er, timeline[/url] that prompted the thread as I seem to have a bit of a thing for Jan/Feb/March purchases . . . we'll see 😕

@ mamadirt, if you're collecting s&m's, i've got a NG Holmes frame, bare finish with clearcoat sat in the van doing nothing. Would be happy to sell for a small fee.

Just the one complete this year, Chumba vf2:
[img] [/img]
Also rebuilt the Cotic (having robbed half of it for the chumba...)

My shed seems to have had a different bike in it every couple of months over the past year.

Not so much 'collecting' rusty, more 'short-term testing' 😉 - the NG dirtbike is on ebay at the mo' but I'm sure there'll be another along in the new year. Wish I'd never sold the [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/p56371144.html ]dirtbike resto project[/url] though - I spent a lot of time and effort on that one. If you're looking to sell the Holmes I'm sure there are plenty of folks over on [url= http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=25.0 ]radbmx.co.uk[/url] who'd be more than happy to take it off your hands.

2 for me- a Ribble Winter frmae & Forks, built u with 105 for the winter..

And a Heckler Frame, now complete..

sold 7 bought 6 🙂

Sold two, bought 1.

2

Jesus Ton!!!

recently bought a Mountain Cycle Rumble ltd edition frame, have an old Kona frame so....nothing complete yet, but should be two more bikes soon....ish.

Will only be two though as my Rocky Mountain has 2 cracks and will be replaced with the rumble.

Would like a big bouncer for the alps but we'll see about that.

Bought 1 complete... so restrained! 😆

Hopefully a roadie next year at some point to replace the "heavy & clunky" thing I commute on now - I'm on it close to 2 hours a day, 4-5 days a week, might as well be something nice to spend that time on.

Maybe a BMX/DJ/faff about in the gutter/play bike too so I can muck around with the nephews and learn to manual, wheelie, bunny-hop, etc properly. Double up as an errands bike too (I don't go to the pub, the local ones are crap! 🙁 )

Only 2, and one was a time-trial bike off ebay.

But the other was a 19 and a bit pound Yeti ASR-Carbon 😀 Bought it in March but still paying off the overdraft...

Sold the 456, sold alpinestars retro, replaced with a BMC. Still got bmx race bike, new road bike, retro road bike, old s&m bmx.

Early in year I built up a s/h Trance that I bought just before Xmas '08, still loving it.

Bought and built a Big Hit in spring and sold it in autumn, too small and heavy for me.

Just bought a Charge Blender s/h.

Not so much gone through bikes as frames with a few upgrades in the parts front.

I've gone through more forks than anything else... 2 sets of Revs, Pikes, Bombers, 66's, Fox 32's, Fox 36's. Now settled with Lyriks and Magura Laurins although would like some Wotans after riding the Laurins.

As for bikes sold the Bullit, the NRS and the Malt....Bought a Heckler, an 853 Dialled PA and an Inbred 🙂

Wondering how long they will stay with me, I'm happy......for now 😈

456 summer season
[img] [/img]
stolen heater
[img] [/img][img]http://[/img]

All I want for Christmas is more time to ride.

Just the one for me:
A s/h Enigma frame in Columbus steel that was too small for my mate.. some bargain basement carbon cranks, reba teams and hard bits from on-one.. and a drivetrain/wheel/brake setup from various retailers and my spares bin where not one single component matches any other. Even the brake callipers don't match the levers!
So that's a 24 1/2 lb steel hardtail, all for £970, and I love it to bits!
I did the south downs way on it in one day at the end of summer and it was faultless. I missed my inbred when I sold it 3 years ago, but I don't miss it any more. This pistol whips the shit out of it. Rides better, descends better, singletracks better, climbs like my old Klein, if not better..
In fact, I've gotta dig out a picture of it.. Here:
[IMG] [/IMG]

Oh, and my other bikes both got new forks and drivetrains, but that's not news.

Bought a humuhumunukanukapau'a.
Bought a Lemond (and snapped it)
Bought a Litespeed (and rode many thousands of miles on it)
Bought a Van Tuyl!!! And have enjoyed riding it immensely.

Only 2 - Ti 456 and Soul. Both great.

Where do people get the money to swap bikes so often? You must lose money on each one!?

I'm only at 2, Top Fuel 9.9 and Specialized Allez commuter, got a new frame on order which should be here before the end of the year though, so a winter bike to add to that!

Bought complete;

Specialized Tricross

Built from parts;

Kona Singlespeed
Kona Full Sus bike for my sons 13th birthday present.

Wife's also bought a Carrera Vulcan road bike.

Sold;

On-one Single speed
Son's old 24" wheel Kona

so, I now have 5 bikes, wife has two bikes, daughter 1+ a trailer bike and son one bike.

Yesterday I bought my first new bike in over ten years. Only the rear brake lever remains from that Sunn Tonic. I now have a lovely new Van Nicholas Yukon (without pedals).

Just a new frame, built my do everything full suss into a do everything hardtail...

mamadirt, got pics of the retro BMX? I would love to get one of these built much like I had in the 80's Redline MX2

[img] [/img]

One frame & wheels this year, nothing the year before; I'm just not doing my bit 🙁

-3
sold my Coiler

Next year though will be a differant story!

Kona dew Fs (both these still in nz awaiting my return)
the merida XC race bike
Tricross
Rebuilt my road bike with a full new drive train

Also bought a unicycle (and can now ride it properly)

so 5 new bikes.given i didnt buy a single new bike last year i think im ok 😀

sold a heckler & my puch fixie

none. Will probably add one to the collection next year, got my eye on a Dolan Track Champion.
Lots of bits though. Mostly gratuitous. Favourite thing was Easton Attack TT bars. Lovely.

3 - got another Heckler to replace the Nomad, and 2 new road frames (Principia bargain and Salsa Casserol)

Also got my Shand back after an 15 month repair. My fleet is replete!

i bought a second hand hahanna in 07. i guess i'm not enslaved to consumerism enough to be a part of this site 🙄

Just the one, sold my Sunday & now on an Empire AP-1 🙂

Not bikes, usually just frames njee20, and sure I lose a little on each one but hey, I reckon it'd cost close to that to hire one for a couple of weeks - I just look on it as money well-spent on entertainment 😀 (I don't 'do' shoes or handbags so why not?)

mamadirt, got pics of the retro BMX?

Which one tinsy? The mid 90s S&M was my last restoration (stripped and resprayed the frame and built it up with mostly NOS stuff off ebay and radbmx.co.uk

[img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=ywj8cf&=1&nostamp=1&quality=70 [/img]

The more recent 2002 NG dirtbike I bought as an NOS frame off ebay and built it up pretty cheaply with the plan to buy period correct stuff when funds allowed, but it's on ebay now as I know it's just gonna cost me megabucks in the long run to get it as I'd like it.

[img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=111im3&=1&nostamp=1&quality=70 [/img]

Spent silly money on a Hutch resto too a few years ago (sheesh that bike was fast) . . .

[img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=y51ayj&=1&nostamp=1&quality=70 [/img]

Tinsy, have a look on [url= http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php#3 ]radbmx.co.uk[/url] if you fancy rebuilding an MX2.

njee, some people are not so precious about money.
it, like bikes are a commodity, and like bullshit, are of no use unless they are spread about. 😉

"Where do people get the money to swap bikes so often? You must lose money on each one!?"

njee - wasn't it you that claimed not to have lost money on a
bike in years?

njee, some people are not so precious about money.

Must be nice... 😥

nothing this year, been very happy with my 07 canfield balance and my 06 fox 36

evil sect or yeti 5 are on the list for the spring
