anyone own a non popular bike…..
or a unique one…..show and tell please..

i dont think my sabbath september is that common but it is lovely 😉

I have a 456 which from the thread about brands you'd never buy doesn't seem that popular.

I ride an old Kona……..fast to avoid the stones being thrown at me by nichemongers.

i own part of one …it must be unpopular you sold me most of it 😉

I've got the last ever (as far as I'm aware) Whyte PRST-4; with T-FOUR forks from a JW-4 as they'd run out of PLUS-FOURS which it should have come with. It's about 5 months old now; but all the components on it are 2005 vintage.

Raleigh Mtrax bought new in '98. Though I expect it to be retro cool any day now.

Don't know if this counts but I haven't seen another online apart from team riders' bikes . . . Tazer VP FRO, No 3 of 100 . . . love it!! 😛

Used to own a Saracen Zen. It were ace! Cracked the seat tube running not enough seatpost in the frame so had to skip it 🙁

Love the Intense tiny tazer, one of those bikes that just looks right!

I ride a Marin…

Seemed fast enough downhill in the alps.

I have Saracen, Raleigh, another Raleigh (frame, needs building again), Marin, Claude Butler, all quite uncool but really like them all.
Have Yeti, Coppi and Rondelli to regain some street cred.
Also have no space in garage and other half who thinks getting a cross bike is a bad idea. Tempted by a Dawes to complete to the line up of uncool bikes…

Carrera Fury, with a mudguard for good measure 🙂

I have a Salsa Moto Rapido. Never seen another one and only heard of them being discussed a couple of times. Even has Whyte forks for extra specialness 😀

I have a saracen Kili flier. Full carbon merida frame, brilliant bike.

Mav ML7/5

Light, brilliant ride and climbs better than just about any other full suser, can't believe they aren't more popular really (not that I am complaining…)

I used to own 3 Gary Fishers 😯

there's only 2 of these

Mantra,Maxlight Pro,Trance & an Inbred 29er

Is that lot unpopular enough for you …. 😕

jase, very nice indeed that mate…….what is it.. 😉

I have a club roost xc4 which I think is a great bike

Cube AMS 125.

Getting more popular but not many about when I got mine.

Don't even see them in mag tests.

Seems a good bike as well.

Viper 29er, never seen another one.

New bike will be a bit more mainstream 😛

there can't be that many Singulars away from here

mine are pretty rare..

Have seen one other Rumble (red hardtail) but have not seen another Fury.
Don't see too many Globals either

kinesis phase, met one other person with one

now has pikes trail bike also putting in appearances as a dh bike

Amongst others I own a 69er Gary Fisher with rigid forks, a rigid 69er 456SS (possibility of a singlepeed there), a Scott Octane and a Marin Wool Fridge (or sumfin) singlespeed with DH Mud tyres and Manitou Blacks. Lovely!

Rock Lobster Team Tig SL (It even has SRAM hubs)
And a Raleigh Amazon commuter

Mav ML7/5

Light, brilliant ride and climbs better than just about any other full suser

You've ridden just about every other full susser then???

Here's my NS Bikes Society:

Nowt fancy and still a work in progress but you don't see that many around.

Not many of these fellas about:

Nor these:

I used to have one of these

Well actually still have the original frame but it's broken unfortunately.

Infact i'd go so far as to say find another person in the british isles that's had one & i'll give you twenty quid.

I think Hairychested wins!

Maybe not as 'sick x gnarly = rad' as this unique steed though.

Sadly it's not mine. 🙁

DO believe the hype. I've ridden loads of different full sus bikes over the years, certainly examples of just about every suspension design. Mavericks go uphill like they have no right to, better than anything else!

Here's my old one, now owned by mtbmaff of this forum…

Never seen another Jamis Dakota 631

Chinzilla XT here, with upgrades. I've never seen another EVER!!!! 😛

Did ride this until i cracked it ! 2008 Mongosse canaan elite , frame replaced with a nice shiney red 09 model …. excellent bike for the money

I also own a Global but have never seen any others about, this could be because I was based in Denmark, and most people only ride road bikes here.

Not seen another Sunn Revolt seems pretty rare. But I'm trying out an NRS now and think my French loveliness will be for sale soon.
