How old is your bike?

[rafiki]

Dawes Mean Street 15 years old and still going strong
Thorn Sterling in gestation at minus 3 weeks. CAN'T WAIT!!

 

[Crackle]

Now.

3 years old and 10 years old. I used to have a Rotrax which dated from the 50's I think but it died.

 

[Plax]

Well I only started cycling about um, 18 months ago I think.
Got my 2007 GT Nomad Sport in Oct 2007, so it's 18 months old!
My 2007 Dawes Ultra Galaxy in May 2008, so that is coming up to a year old.

MTB hardtail - 7 years

MTB rigid (pub/commuter) - 5 years with me, guessing 15 years total

Brompton - 8 years

Tandem - 1 month with me, guessing 5 years total

Tourer/all purpose - 2 months

I'm not sure about most of mine.

I know my road bike is from 2005. My TT bike I think is around 2002, but not sure. MTB about 1999/2000, the commuter is made from parts- I haven't a clue when the frame was made, similarly the 'crosser.

Raleigh mirage (still looking for others) mid 80's
specialized allez 2008

 

[asterix]

22 years old - tourer (ebay £50, dated from the date coded components and a sales brochure, being completely rebuilt to nearly new condition as I liked the ride)
10 years old - tourer
6 years old - audax
2 months old - audax/sportif

No idea which is fastest as have stopped using cycle computers but I suspect the 6 year old audax bike is quicker up hill and the 2 months one quicker down the hills (not due to relative weights, they're about the same).

So compared to Hilldodger's all pretty much brand new.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

i've got one from 2000, one from 2004 (and with everything upgraded since in '06). the 'old' bike is a 1980's steel frame, which has all the finishing kit from the bike bought in '04, so not sure if that counts as old or not.

Five years...

 

[HLaB]

My Sirrus is 3.5 years old (I converted it to drops last Oct and it feels like a new bike)
The commuter is (ridgeback velocity) 2 years old
And the Bianchi is also 2 years old.
And there's an old mtb in my parents shed I used that before I bought the Sirrus, its about 19 years old.
I'm tempted to buy something new on the cyclescheme in the meantime whilst I make up my mind hopefully the new tyres I ordered for the Bianchi make it feel new.

Haven't a clue with the other old hack that I have as it came from Freecycle.
