Cotic Flare, drunken eBay accidental purchase, loving it tho. Changed the saddle for a Brooks Cambium but everything else is tidy so very happy.

Orange x9 second hand well tomorrow as my phone died yesterday and couldn’t PayPal it. Dipping the toe into roadie riding with it and easy local trails.

Nothing recent for me but there are some really nice bikes in the above.

A Kona Libre gravel thing about this time last year. I was also tempted by the Genesis Fugio but was seduced by the two-tone purple/green paint of the Libre (child of the 70s/80s) not to mention the lower weight and better clearance for 700C tyres. That Genesis does look lovely though.

Only problem with the Libre is that it was supposed to just be a bike for winter when the trails were a mess but it turns out that I’ve only ridden my lovely FlareMax a couple of times since getting it and I can’t put all of that down to lockdown either.

Oh and the irresistible urge to festoon it with bags too of course 🙂

A road bike – specialized allez elite. Pleasantly surprised myself on how much I’m enjoying riding it.

Santa Cruz Hightower – Sorry

Almost finished, getting a new paint job next year, and some better brakes, but might be the last for a while. Covid-19 enforced JSA doesn’t really cover much bike bling 😔

Go on then, picked up my ludicrously coloured Deviate Highlander about a month ago. It is as wild as it looks, I’ve had walkers falling into ditches and stumbling into trees gawping at it(possibly blinded). This thing absolutely hauls..

The latest Deviate custom rolling out of the workshop is this killer yellow/pink combo! Oil slic pedals and valve caps pulling it all together! Super limited edition fork supplied by our friends @basecampbikes

Edit: I’d really love the oilslick cassette & chain Tom has…

Love that @dumbbot – I can only imagine the reactions 😁

Specialized Diverge Carbon – the first complete bike I’d bought since 2001:

A Kona Sutra LTD. Actually it was meant to be a Kona Libre just like the one @roverpig got, but the sizing was all over the place. Had it for about 24 hours and sent it back as it was huge for a 54cm bike. Glad I did in many ways though as the Sutra has now got 2.2’s on it and whilst it’s a lot heavier than the Libre it’s still a lot quicker than all my other bikes.

Out early (for me) to avoid the crowds. Carefully selected trails meant very few walkers or riders so made the most of it. Perfect biking territory. #gravelbike #konasutraltd #ridesheffield #canecreek

I purchased a Sonder Camino a good few weeks back. It’s due to be built pretty soon I hope…

For me –

Actual last purchase was for son –

Mostly been visiting towers and cairns.

This was the last complete bike I purchased, 2nd hand, soon to be two years ago. An Inspired Console:

This is the newest frame & forks I purchased, but most of the other components I already owned for a couple of years. Probably. Until I killed the rear wheel, it has a new rear wheel. And derailleur. The seat & seatpost are currently on my hardtail. Need to replace/fix the rear brake, stuck pistons.

A Nukeproof Scout at the start of the year a cheeky eBay bid thinking it won’t win and it did.

Too many nice bikes in this thread 🙂

2nd hand Kona Kahuna bought last summer. Didn’t quite work out as cheap as planned after changing the forks, tyres and fitting a dropper, but I’m getting plenty of use out of it.

2002 Santa Cruz Superlight.

A Ridley Noah Fast Di2
A stunning bike, love it.

This very one perhaps? as I bought the last one from Merlin at the discounted price:

Far more capable than I’ll ever be.

Evil ‘The Following MB

More capable than the person piloting it, definitely

Cinelli Superstar. Bought it last September, but still haven’t ridden it yet.

(how do you post an image now, used to be able to do it)

Finally finished the build today, mostly new stuff but apart from the crank it has the old drivetrain on for now.
Can’t wait to get it on the trails!

Bought an Orange P7 recently and love it far more than I should.

No idea how to post pictures though ☹️

A bit twitchy down the tow path, just need to get more miles on it.

Brompton S3L in Racing Green.
