Which (big) bike brands do you currently own

[Hill Wimp]

I didn't mention *ahem* my e-bike as it is still with my mum.

I genuinely can't understand the snobbery or what the problem is with them though, anything that gets people onto bikes is a good thing in my book.

Yes @Kominic you must include ebikes because they are bikes and you do still pedal. My small LBS sells one a week so there are many thousands out there.

Also dont forget recumbents and tandems, there are many owners on this site and other similar sites if you visit them and before you scoff have a go and see how you manage on one.

By the number of Triban recommendations maybe Decathlon's B'Twin need to go on the list

Good point - and in terms of numbers sold (if nothing else), Carrera should be on the list.

Good points. My very first bike was a Raleigh and that was 20 years ago when I was 8.........cripes. There's a thought.

Dawes I only know about already because they sell the only road bike under £300 on Evans.

What I will do instead of duplicate poll threads is tally up all the brands mentioned and attempt to post a presentable list, most popular from the top. That way, every brand mentioned has a referenced figure.

In that case I'll add Kentex to the list (My Trike) they make thousands of pedalled work vehicles and disabled trikes etc with 2, 3 and 4 wheels.

It's working exactly as intended. You're not pooping on my party.

Sorry, I just did. I clicked on a brand that I don't even own. By the way, there is only one 'n' in 'Pinarello'. And finally, all of the info on brand and market share which you appear to be seeking is already on google - just search for it. It's not like this is the first time someone has thought of doing a survey.

Cervelo and BH

 

[Old Steve]

Trek Fx, Trek Ex Cal 9 and Orro piro ( well nearly the Orro piro, its being made or put together ready for the 20 th of this month.... Why did I say it's ok... there is no hurry, I will have it towards the end of the month for my birthday, when I really meant ..I want it now... No yesterday..

Oh and Mrs Old Steve rides a Specialized cross trail..

 

[dr snuggles]

I have a Look 765 as well as a couple of specialized.

 

[Tim Hall]

Mercian, M Steel, Cheltenham Pedersen, Vision, Hase, Dahon

So none of the major brands really.

 

[srw]

Brompton - which is certainly a major brand in the Southeast of England.
Dawes
Van Nicholas
Enigma
Thorn - which is a big brand in the world of tandems
Santana - ditto

Oh, and we have a Specialized (unloved) and a Trek (not very loved, and being changed)

Kuota, Specialized, Bianchi, Brompton, Kona, Elephant (which is a re-worked Pashley) - and they all get regular use!
