I notice increasingly people refer to their bikes by brand or model name, rather as you might with a car ("My Ford Focus Mk3 deluxe").
I've never regarded any bike of mine like that. Each of them is a frame with various components (which change as I replace or upgrade). So I'll refer to the road bike, the light tourer, the fixed, the mtb, etc.
In fact the mtb recently had a frame transplant. So whereas I might have referred to it as a 'Marin', it now sports an 'On-one' logo. But it's still just the same mtb.
Am I just old-fashioned?
