Raleigh, pug, spesh, brommie, dale, focus, voodoo, boardman, haibike, condor, giant.

Moody of them are gone. Like a few others mentioned here, the folder was very useful for a while but didn't get much use these days. On the odd occasion that I need it, it's still very useful but I usually look for excuses to use a full-size bike.

My list starts in the very late '60s:

Raleigh Pathfinder
Raleigh RSW14,
Steyr-Daimler-Puch
Peugeot
Trek 850*
Bontrager Privateer
Trek Fuel 80
Trek SL1000

I also have a '70s or '80s Dawes but it was rescued and I've never ridden it. It’s currently in bits.

*I still have these.

Edit to add: Mickle's list reminded me that I had a Triang tricycle too!
