How many - ?

[FrothNinja]

The ones I can remember
In Australia
hand me down pre-war tricycle - front wheel drive but went like stink
(1st bike I rode was a mates gold Malvern Star Dragstar with a nutcracker stickshift)
50s/60s bright red Coventry Eagle single speed - 1st proper bike aged 9, unusual in Qld, still have the headstock badge, rode it everywhere & it was bloody hilly
my dad's huge ancient heavy Qld GPO bike with a fixed rear wheel and a reverse pedal brake - still rode the Eagle too
my dad's mid 70s Chinese made metallic green 10-speed (Shimano) tourer (will have to ask him what make - edit: he can't remember) - all four disappeared after I left Aus
In UK
Blue Raleigh 3-speed SA sit up and beg - toured Britain on it with a 3 stone frame pack on my back
Emmelle 18 speed MTB - heavy but very capable, stolen while I was at Uni in Manchester
Black pre-war Raleigh 3-speed SA sit up and beg - stolen while I was at Uni in Manchester
Centurion 5-speed drop handle - main form of transport for years
Raleigh Winner - too big for me but used it to tour
Black Raleigh 60s light weight single speed racer - did 3 Counties and few other events on it, lost in house move
Black Raleigh 60s/70s 5 speed drop handle - lost in house move
Purple Raleigh Mirage MTB - too big for me, sold it years ago to a mate who has electrocuted it recently
Coventry Eagle MTB Downhill - too small for me but still gets used on short rides
Coventry Eagle 3-speed SA 1942 Glasgow police bike
Dawes Galaxy with flat bars - Frame too big for me 66cm/26", but I have done most of my best segment times on it
Phillips Folda - under a tarp in a shed for years, needs dragging out and giving a little love
Focus Aventura2 - a naughty eBike that is brilliant at climbing steep gravel trails, contemplating winter tours on it
Focus Mares 6.9 - my newest & lightest (I think). Been tinkering with it to get it to climb better, contemplating summer tours this year
Hercules ?1936? Empire Club Lady's (OA) flip flop hub - very original, in the process of returning to the road but will keep the original bits

Think that is the lot - had forgotten a few

Giant
Orange x 2

1) Kiddie trike. Triang probably, you know the sort: steel disc wheels, solid tyres, steel seat, pedals on front wheel.
2) Trike. Anon make. Spokes and chain, but still had solid tyres, so I couldn't keep up with other kids.
3) 20" bike. Raleigh perhaps? An upgrade to pneumatic tyres.
4) 24" bike. Anon make. First bike with cable brakes.
5) 27" bike. Anon make. First adult size bike (aged 10), first with drop bars and gears, (5 speed Huret).
6) Carlton Continental. First new bike, also 5 speed Huret, Altenbuger Synchron dual pivot brakes.
7) Raleigh Record. First bike I bought myself. 12 speed Suntour VX. Still rusting away in the garage.
8) Dawes Horizon. 2000 model, 24 speed (now 27), the last one to use Galaxy frame. My current bike since Feb 2001.
The Horizon's almost a grandfather's axe, it's done 46,000 miles and the only original bits left are the mudguards, seatpin, and brakes.

Steel seat - ? Blimey, standards must have dropped, my Triang circa 1956, had a hard rubber saddle - !
