hanging-on in quiet desperation ...
Location
Kirton, Devon.
My oldest and dearest bike is my battered an d beaten circa 1949 Holdsworth fixed (on the Turbo awaiting a new fork).
Commuting hack is an early 1980's Evans/Saracen and early Brit MTB made from 531 MTB tubing.
There's also a BE Touristic 531st Tourer rebuild project...

But mostly I ride this, Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall:
 
Am I the only person on this forum without a roadbike?

My best bike; Rocky Mountain Vertex Team Scandium, Race face cranks, SID World Cup forks, X.0 rear mech, Mavic XMax wheels, Easton carbon post and bar, Avid Ultimate brakes and levers.

My other best bike; 1996 Schwinn Black Phantom with Profile Imperial chain-ring and Dyno Flame tyres.

My daily driver; Giant LaFree eletrickery bike with skinny slicks, smaller sprocket and front basket. Wooooooooshhhhh.

And; Brompton L3, whereabouts unknown since my mate came off it in London and put himself in a coma. Twat.

Trying to wangle a Kona Smoke out of Paligap too.

Hi. I use 2 bikes on a daily basis. Roadie for dry weather. MTB for wet weather and pootling around with my wife and kids on the weekends. I do over 100 miles a week instead of using London tube. I spend the tube money on the bikes. Money well spent.

2005 litespeed tachyon (titanium) converted to drops (fsa carbon k-wing). Chris king ti headset. ksyrium sl wheels. triple ultegra sti's. dura ace brakes. selle carbonio slk seat with ti rails. giant aero carbon seatpost. lupine wilma lights (for winter and commuting). I use mavic open pro's for commuting with a powertap hub.

2007 specialized rockhopper pro disc. Hope mini brakes. crossmax sl ust wheels with scwalbe nobby nic tyres (I put tubes in, btw). post moderne bracer seatpost (softens the tail). lupine edison 10 lights.
 
on one pompino, miche hubs and chainset, lo pro bars for comfort, 47x 20 gear.
got a centaur equipped roberts touring bike that sadly has only done 30 miles in the last year.
fixed is too addictive!

I wonder if anyone has changed their steeds since they forst posted?

ATM I ride a Principia RSL with Ultegra/Dura Ace gruppo and Ksyrium elite wheelset.

In the winter/wet days I ride a Norco CRD3 roadbike with various upgrades (bit of a mix and match groupset).

Mountain bike is a Trek 6500 with Reba SL forks.

I've got a Specialized Allez Elite '09 for the better weather and a Joe Waugh for bad days, not sure of the frame but it feels more comfortable than the Specialized although a bit heavier!
