Your personal bike history

[bridgestone1]

Thought it might be fun to list all the bikes I've owned since I became a serious recreational cyclist in 1978 following a trip to Martha's Vineyard. Here goes and I invite others here to do the same:

Raleigh Grand Prix 1978-1985 (wrecked)

Bridgestone 400 1985-1990 (wrecked)

Centurian 1990-1992 (wrecked)

Diamondback 1992-2000 (traded in)

Lemond Buenos Aires 2000-2000 (traded in)

Lemond Zurich 2000-2001 (traded in)

Trek 2200 2001-2009 (wrecked)

1990 Bridgestone RB-1 2001-2015 (sold)

Trek 2.3 2009-present

1993 Bridgestone RB-1 2015-present

I've never owned more than 2 bikes at one time. One guy I ride with claims he once owned 22 bikes. Now he's down to a paltry 7.

Had to give this some thought as I've never listed the entire progression as a curriculum vitae as it were for the whole nine yards. An entire lifetime of cycling summed up into a tossed-off paragraph! Anytime one does this there is always the lookback that maybe one could have done more!

Only one or two comments that might keynote some of what's happened here:

Every bike was bought new except the '70's-era DeRosa Professional which was bought as a collector bike from Mike Kone which I rode anyway
Every custom bike is denoted by the builders full name and I am the original client commission for every custom bike listed
There was about a 7-year hiatus from cycling in that timeline when at a point I got serious about my career and the profession's time demands were "non-negotiable". Wasted time where I coulda bought more bikes!
I have a great affinity for Italian bici

You have wrecked a lot of bikes! :eek:

I have, but none of the wrecks were serious, though the impact was enough to bend the frames. The seat stays of the Trek 2200 got destroyed when I tried to shift up from a chain drop. It wrecked not only the seat stays, but the rear derailleur as well. That folly produced a tangled mess. Then I got the Trek 2.3. Despite a couple crashes, it remains intact.

Impressive! How many of these bikes do you currently own?

[makoti]

Since 1985:
Montgomery Wards 10speed (gotta start somewhere. A mere 40 lbs) - long gone
Peugot UO8 - gone
Trek 2000 - glue failed on shifters, replaced by Trek, gone
Merlin Ti - trainer duty
Gary Fisher Mt Tam - in use
John Hollands custom - crunched by a car
Colnago CT1 - crunched by a car
John Hollands Custom - in use
John Hollands Custom S&S travel - in use
Crumpton T5 - in use

[fuzzalow]

Impressive! How many of these bikes do you currently own?

Dunno, I'd say I still have about a third left, they are all pretty much either the bikes worth having as collector pieces like the early NOS Cinelli Supercorsa or the stuff that is hard to get rid of like any of the older 126-spacing Italian stuff. The really old stuff I left at my parents house and over time that stuff just disappeared. I tried to sell off as much of the newer stuff here as possible. The rest went into storage.

I downsized from a suburban house to a Mahattan apartment as a lifestyle change and I don't really regret not having and getting bikes like I used to. The market has changed also so that what I find worth going after is less and less. For example all the new Colnagos & DeRosa I'd agree are less covetous to me now than before. Anyway, I have no claim to being critical about somebody buying lots of bikes - I did it too for a long time. It's easy to walk away for something like that when you've already done it.

Since '78? Um...

- 1971 Schwinn Varsity Sport (which I bought new when I was 10 years old and still had)
- 1979 Raleigh something-or-other -- first "lightweight" [sic] road bike I'd ever owned or ridden...which got stolen six weeks after I bought it! :eek:
- no-name rattle-can aluminum 10-speed (5x2) that the asshat who "borrowed" my Schwinn left in its place
- 1983 Motobecane Nobly, a 5x1-speed commuter bike with touring geometry and upright position
- 1988 Puegot mountain bike (also stolen)
- 1994 Trek 750 hybrid
- 2006 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2
- 1986 Bridgestone 600
- 2010 Carl Strong steel road bike w/ S&S couplers

Still have the C'dale, Bridgestone, & Strong. Got a Sachs on the way, ostensibly this summer.

[warren128]

Okay, I'll play too. :)

All gone now:

196x Royce Union (Stingray style)
1971 Sears (by Puch)
197x Schwinn Varsity
197x Schwinn Continental
1974 Raleigh Supercourse. My friend was hit by a car while riding it. I was right behind him when it happened. Friend survived, bike got a little bent. I cold set it back into alignment, but the head set was not right after that. I continued to ride it for many years after that. If it was never in an accident, I would still have it today. I sold it in a garage sale with the Mercier.
197x Mercier. I resurrected this one from a backyard find, and hung quality parts on it, better parts than the frame quality deserved, but it turned out very nice, and I rode it well into the 90s.

---------------------

Current bikes:

1986 Nishiki Tri-A, all original equipment still on it except for the seat, bar tape, and cables.
1987 Raleigh 531C "Race" (this is the one I'm currently rebuilding)
1996 Litespeed Classic (my main ride)

Most were ridden for a period of time to determine if they would make the cut. Several were/have been owned for many years. A few were just framesets that were never completed for one reason or another and sold on. A number of others were victims of down-sizing purges and were returned to the wild.

Not playing this game. Too many bikes -- many more than I can justify or should own. And another one just arrived :-)

[regularguy412]

WOW some have had a whole BUNCHA bikes! Me ...... not so many, but here goes:

1985 First 'dedicated' bike - can't remember the name, but it had an old Viscount saddle. It was too big for me, but I rode it until I literally broke the seat tube out of the BB. Had it re-welded and used it for 3 more years as a trainer bike until the BB bearings literally fell out of it on the basement floor.

1988 Cannondale Criterium series (died in a crash with a pickup truck)
1989 Cannondale Criterium series (bought for my then-wife and I eventually ended up with it) Now a trainer bike.
1993 Cannondale 2.8 series ( rain bike )
1996 Serotta TG (also died in a crash with an SUV)
1997 Serotta CSI (frame and fork only now)
2007 Soma Delancey fixed/single speed
2013 Serotta Fondo Ti

Mike in AR:beer:

[Seramount]

my list is pretty short...

1959 - some midget-sized frame Huffy-esque thing (it was orange)

1960 - Murray steel frame, full-fenders, gnarly wire handlebar basket (probably weighed 30 lbs); rode the living crap out of it

1970 - some Australian-made '10-speed' POS I rode during college

1975-ish - Motobecane Grand Touring; nice bike

1984 - Centurion Facet (7000-series Al frame); hit by Buick

1992-ish - Specialized Allez Epic carbon, full DA 8-spd; still own, still ride

2009 - 1998 Schwinn/Serotta Ti Paramount

I mean... That's all! Oh and I think you forgot a Moots MTB if I recall. If I ever have a question about a bike, ever, it looks like you can tell me first hand! I am going to keep this post for ever time my wife complains!

I am going to keep this post for ever time my wife complains! Whoops! I forgot about that one - the Smoothie! I also need to add the Trek Project One Top Fuel as well and a chromed, SLX-tubed Torpado that a friend of mine reminded me of.

My wife has been surprisingly supportive of the bike habit over the years. It isn't nearly as intrusive as my former car obsessions. :rolleyes:

Lessee.... Since my first real bike was around then....

1978 AustroDaimler Superleight. Sold

Seriously... I need to find a guy like you or Texbike who ride a 60/61 cm and buy the house next door to you and make friends!!!

[warren128]

I'm in awe of you guys who have gone through (and still have) so many bike.

:banana:

[fuzzalow]

Yowza! Some of you guys have bike lists that are almost incomprehensible. Dunno how that's done as there aren't even that many bikes I'd have an interest in owning much less have the time to ride them all. Some of these lists catalog more bikes than a pro shop could normally sell. I'm not envious of having that many bikes, not my trip. But I am curious as to how someone can do it - to me it looks like it's more about the numbers than the riding. No snark intended, I just can't comprehend how it's done. Different strokes.

Quite a few of mine were bought/ridden/sold during college when many of the older bikes on the list were just considered old and outdated (they still are). By the early 90s, nice Nuovo/Super Record-equipped classic bikes could be purchased very cheaply which was great for a college student on a budget and an eye for older, classic designs.

The 2nd big surge for me coincided with the increased usage of Craigslist combined with a job that regularly put me in multiple large cities. It made it easy to find neat, old bikes while traveling. It was just too easy to skim Craigslist while sitting in a Starbucks between appts.

The time should have probably been spent riding instead, but it was often much easier to buy and tinker than actually get out for the miles due to the timing. Besides, I've always been a fan of the machinery and have enjoyed the aesthetics and history of many of the bikes.

To each their own I guess....;)

Thanks for the insight. I can understand doing this as a pasttime but because I have never bought a pre-owned bike I have no feel for how easy or hard it is to constantly flip bikes. I think bikes are always losers in transaction costs or time to move product in the used market but I was never a player in this market so its not unreasonable that my costs were higher. And I have only participated as a seller of my own top-end bikes.

No judgment intended as far as riding time, I can fetish over Campagnolo and titanium bits as well as any practiced deviant. Although I can honestly admit the sexiest hunk of metal I ever fondled was a titanium connecting rod for a Ducati Superbike engine mod. Pankl. I wanted that piece as a desk paperweight, when people still had papers on their desks! Beautiful metallurgy.

Oh, I also used to own a really sweet handmade TT bike with Columbus tubing and sloping top tube I used to race as a teenager. I sold it in college during a moment of weakness/poverty. It was some obscure Italian builder and for the life of me I haven't been able to recall the name of the builder. I regret letting than one go.

[bridgestone1]

Dunno, I'd say I still have about a third left, they are all pretty much either the bikes worth having as collector pieces like the early NOS Cinelli Supercorsa or the stuff that is hard to get rid of like any of the older 126-spacing Italian stuff. The really old stuff I left at my parents house and over time that stuff just disappeared. I tried to sell off as much of the newer stuff here as possible. The rest went into storage.

I downsized from a suburban house to a Mahattan apartment as a lifestyle change and I don't really regret not having and getting bikes like I used to. The market has changed also so that what I find worth going after is less and less. For example all the new Colnagos & DeRosa I'd agree are less covetous to me now than before. Anyway, I have no claim to being critical about somebody buying lots of bikes - I did it too for a long time. It's easy to walk away for something like that when you've already done it.

Material stuff means less and less the more we age.

Stupid Question: Where/how do you store 40 bikes? And do you get to ride them all w/i a 1 year period?

[oldpotatoe]

Yowza! Some of you guys have bike lists that are almost incomprehensible. Dunno how that's done as there aren't even that many bikes I'd have an interest in owning much less have the time to ride them all.

Or have the room to store 40 bikes. And have them be accessible enough to actually take them out to ride. I have a hard time with 3.

[echelon_john]

Roughly chronological, starting in 1982

- Motobecane Mirage Sport--first 'real' bike
- Holdsworth Professional w/Campy Super Record--I was one lucky kid.

- Clark • Kent road...what a piece of crap.
- Cannondale Saeco w/Dura Ace
- Cannondale F700 MTB
- Surly Crosscheck
- Heron Touring
- Mercian KOM Touring
- Mercian KOM Road custom
- Rivendell Road Standard, Waterford built...should have kept this one
- IF Deluxe w/XTR--if it were a 29er I would never have sold it
- Several Echelons that I built *
- Richard Sachs custom
- Ventana El Rey
- Cannondale CAAD10 Road
- Engin 29er

And I have only participated as a seller of my own top-end bikes.



I've only purchased a couple of new bikes over the years and they've all been mountain bikes. Everything else was purchased second-hand. Early on I realized that it wasn't really necessary to buy new road bikes as there were so many lightly-used, minty examples around for a fraction of their original cost.

I've essentially broken even over the years on the transactions and really have very few "actual" dollars invested. However, where I have taken a MASSIVE hit is on the opportunity cost of the time spent acquiring, playing with, thinking about, and selling the bikes. I can't even imagine the total number of hours invested, but that time would probably have been more productive if it had been spent going to law school, writing a book or two, starting a business, or doing charity work (or a combination of all of the above). It's definitely an addiction. Many people have drugs or other significant, questionable vices. Bikes are mine.

It's been interesting to look at others lists, some interesting collections.

One real dilemma (first world, to be sure) of buying and selling bikes over the years is this: if you do it long enough and only keep bikes you love you eventually have a collection that's large enough that no matter which bike you choose to ride on a given day there are a lot of bikes that you also love that aren't getting ridden.

In my case, I ride a lot (10K+ miles/year for > 20 years) and try to spread the miles around across all of my bikes (keep in mind, I love them all!) but it's still the case that some of them get ridden less than 500 miles per year. Other than storage space, which I have a lot of, I've no pressing need to sell them but I have reached a point where buying another bike, no matter how awesome it might be, only compounds the problem and probably doesn't really add anything to my riding. I'd say I'm done acquiring bikes but I know better ;-)

With that lengthy intro, here's a list going back 20 years more or less in order of acquisition. Asterisks on the ones I still have:

1. Schwinn Super LeTour
2. Nishiki Olympic 12
3. Trek 2300
4. Trek 5200
5. Serotta Legend ST
6. Parlee Z1X*
7. Calfee Tetra Pro*

12. Kirk non-Terraplane*
13. Kirk JKS*

21. Calfee Adventure 650b*
22. Specialized S-Works Roubaix*
23. Specialized Roubaix disc*
24. Pinarello Dogma F8*
25. Trek Emonda SLR Team*

Oh, and a Trek Farley fat bike.

It's likely I'll sell a few of them some time in the future...

1983 Torpado Super Racing

10 bikes since 1978? What's wrong with you?

I could probably claim the same or even less in the 1989-1999 period. Since then it would be a very time consuming project to even begin to list (or remember) them.

Interesting comments about the Cannondale CX. Some of the cranks were made by Sugino, can't imagine a problem there. Brakes were likely DiaCompe. What year, what were the issues?

[mhespenheide]

Road bikes since starting to ride "seriously":

early:
1987 Bianchi Campione d'Italia. Still have the frame; waiting to be resurrected and restored or restomodded.
1983 Trek 660 bought used in 1990 or so. Converted to a townie/bar bike before stripping the parts. Still have the frame, Reynolds 531c with aggressive geometry. Considering converting it to 650b...
1992-93? Schwinn "Paramount" OS bought new when Schwinn was going out of business. Still have it, still built up with a mix of 105, 600EX and 6400 Ultegra; it lives with my generous parents so that I have something to ride while visiting.


middle:
2002 LeMond Ti Victoire bought used in 2009 or so. Still have the bike, built up largely with 7700. Mostly ridden on the trainer or brought on road trips.
mid-2000's Specialized S-Works cyclocross bike (before the Crux) bought used in 2010 while I was living in rural Utah, as an early "gravel" bike. Sold to a friend after I moved to Seattle.
2006 LeMond Poprad bought used in 2010 or so. Also while living in rural utah, bought looking for a more "road-like" geometry with a lower bottom bracket drop than the Specialized. Sold when I left Seattle because I never got along well with the choices of cantis or v-brakes; shouldn't have sold it...

more recent:
2010 Kona Dew Drop bought NOS in 2012 after moving to Seattle. Thought I wanted disc brakes, but the bike was too hefty to be charming at ~30 pounds. Sold in 2014 with almost no miles put on it.
2011 Cervelo R3 bought second-hand in 2013. Delightful bike, and I entertain thoughts of buying another one. Sold in 2015 after moving to rural Santa Barbara County, where the roads are even worse than Seattle; the R3 won't fit wider than ~27mm tires.
2015 Felt F1PR bought NOS, sort of -- through CL from one of their PDX-area sponsored mountain bikers, who never built it up -- in 2015. Took some getting used to the geometry and a slightly different fit set-up, but now a delight. Makes me want to look for another frame to stockpile.
1992 Trek 400 bought used in 2016 to build up as an Eroica bike with medium-reach brakes and clearance for 700x33mm tires. Now stripped back down to the frame (and for sale, if you're interested: 62x60cm) as I consider options for the Bianchi and Trek 660, above.


Also have a CAAD10 and Kona Honky-Tonk frames waiting in the wings, but I haven't built either of those up yet.

Interesting comments about the Cannondale CX. Some of the cranks were made by Sugino, can't imagine a problem there. Brakes were likely DiaCompe. What year, what were the issues?I bought that bike in 2002 or 03. It was their first disc brakes model. 105 shifters IIRC. The house brand hubs and bb leaked water every race. The brake pads were gone after two laps in a muddy race and sort of worked in the dry.. I spent all season nursing the parts. The frame was wonderful however. Loved that part. Sold it and had the Guru built. 15 years later all I do is wash the Guru post race.

Hmm..

Early 80s - some kind of cheap 20" BMX, steel frame, coaster brake, passed down to my brothers, must have been tossed by my parents at some point

Late 80s - Sterling "MTB" which would really be a flat bar gravel bike today (Stolen from a locked room + locked rack when I was 18 freshman year of college)

2000 - Giant Iguana - Retired around 2005?
2000 - Trek 2200 - Cracked/fatigued chainstay in 2004
2004 - Trek 2300 - Warranty replacement, sold in 2007 when the Serotta was inbound
2004 - Giant TCR Composite - sold after the 2300 arrived
2005 - Giant NRS - retired in 2022
2005 - Some kind of no-name fixie, sold it after a year or so
2007 - Serotta Concours - sold to a friend in 2011
2011 - BH G4 - Wrecked in 2013 on a roof rack. :(
2013 - All City Space Horse - still in action but as a flat bar commuter right now, this might be the bike I've put the largest # of miles on
2016 - Trek Domane 5 series frameset - still in action
2022 - Trek Farley 7 - very much in use

General theme is I have mostly been a roadie but should have mostly been a mountain biker as I tend to get on a MTB and fit well and love it for a long time and road bikes somehow are more finicky and come and go and I'm never as happy.

Interesting look back for me. Impossible task would be trying to remember the seemingly countless drivetrain/fork/wheel iterations for all of the above...

Damn knee is just not letting me sleep so up bored again. Guess I can play in the old thread too.

As a kid:
Red single speed with coaster brake and a history of leaving skid marks everywhere!
Multicolored high rise handlebar, banana seat bike. Given to me by a stranger as we were pretty poor then and couldn't afford bikes. Wrecked it within a year and still have the scar where the handlebar got me in the gut. This act of kindness is why I build so many bikes up that I either donate or pass on at a loss.
Montgomery Ward 3 speed - Mom's bike I rode as a teenager since it's all I had.
Red massively geared single speed 1960's balloon tire bike. Rode all over the country with that always chasing my bud on his "fancy" 10- speed.

Army days:
Peugeot - Champagne brown with the chevron decals, racks, generator light, etc.
Shogun - Too small but used for a year of so.
Schwinn Passage 1993ish bike I got in Hawaii and had until we retired in Utah. Gave it to a family friend.

Retired from running and started biking seriously. That's when all the bikes started coming in.

These are the ones I had and moved on for various reasons.

Miyata 914 SE
AMF Hercules 3 speed-Errand bike for many years
Giordana Antares
Vitus Argal
Basso Gap - A real beauty, friend jumped it of a curve and jacked up the rear triangle
Bob Jackson -Reynolds 531 beauty
Bianchi Campione - Never really liked this and sold it to a friend who loves it.
Lemond Chamberry- Built as TT bike. Never got around to converting it to a road setup but stole the 9 speed Dura Ace parts off it to upgrade another ride.
CIOCC Designer 84 - A 58 cm that was too big. Sold to one of my buddy mechanics from my LBS
Schwinn Circuit- 1987 rebuilt with Athena 11 speed. A true favorite that I posted all my local Strava sprint KOM's on. Finally sold it to the mechanic who built it up and had been wanting it every since.
Schwinn Circuit- Another small 1987 one I really got for my son. He jus decided to stick to mountain bike. Resold, this one was original and mint
Schwinn Circuit- 1999 version, Reynolds 853, awesome bike
Club Fuji
Colnago Super - 1985 bike. Refurbished into an 8 speed friction shifting beast
Concorde - Yellow/white beauty I built up one winter and then sold with never putting a mile on it. Wish I had ridden it some
De Rosa Nuovo Classico- Sweet ride with a modern Campagnolo build
De Rosa Neo Pro - Took in on trade, enjoyed, sold
Fuji S12-S - Converted into a 650b setup, loved for years, passed on to a local guy who's loving the hell out of it
Lemond GLX Team Gan
Centurion Iron Man - White/Blue smoke, modern Campagnolo build
Centurion Iron Man - White/Red, DT setup
Kona Jake the Snake- My winter/rain bike for around a decade
Jan De Reus

Klein Quantum II
Lecoulant-Never figured out the maker or history of this one.

Lemond Maillot Jaune- Billato built TSX beauty, sold to local lady last year wanting a nice vintage bike
Mars Trekking- Odd beast of a bike I used for errands
Martelly
Bridgestone Mile 112- This old beast would flat out fly
Serotta Nova Special
Ochsner SL-Red version I refurbished, enjoyed, sold
Orbea Cabestany-1986 bike, crude paint and build but so fast. Lots of mods over the years, at one time friction shifting 11 speeds on it, another gravel bike setup for awhile too
Schwinn Paramount-1987 bike serial number 1, beautiful but just never thought it was that good. Repainted by Waterford and a modern build
Peugeot U-08 - 1970's purple beauty that was quite a good ride for a cheap bike
Giordana Polaris-Full Dura Ace build
Schwinn Prologue - Another Dura Ace build
Schwinn Prologue TT- Funny bike built up with modern Shimano 10 speed. Unable to ride it after a separated AC/Joint
Schwinn 684
Giordana Scorpius
Serotta CSI - A real beauty I loved but finally passed on
Stella SX 73 -1970's French Beauty
Team Fuji
Raleigh Team USA - Mint small one
Raleigh Team USA - Mint tall one
Schwinn Tempo - Part of the "buy all 1987 Schwinn models" phase of life
Lemond Tourmelet
Trek 560 Pro - Another one I never really came to terms with, too flexy
Trek Fuel EX 8- My attempt last year to get back into MB'ing. My bad back disagreed and a local teenager got a wonderful deal on a new mountain bike
Lemond Ventoux
Lemond Versailles
Trek Y-66 Y-Foil- Such a good ride
Lemond Zurich - "Borrowed" by a friend twice, never returned the second time, LOL!

Serotta CX - I believe Wesian is still enjoying this one


yes sir!

I am keeping it for two reasons. 1) absolutely love the YELLOW paint and 2) I promise there will ALWAYS be a Serotta living in the household. This is the only one left.

Just saw this old thread and thought it would be fun (at the age of 68) to try to remember all of them. A sure sign that I have way too much time on my hands.

28 bikes: 9 New, 19 used

1. 1960s era: Schwinn generic 20 incher. Hand me down from older brother. Dad had it converted to imitation Sting Ray as a birthday gift (embarrassed not to have a real Sting Ray)
2. 1960s era: Schwinn generic 20 incher. I converted to imitation trick bike (first bike I painted). Took a header over a golf course bunker and the bike was toast
3. 1960s-70s era: Schwinn Collegiate. First new bike I bought with my own (paper route) money. I splurged on the Bendix 2 speed ‘kick back’ hub. I recall it cost $55 brand new. Rode it all the way through college.

Long, long gap through college, early adulthood, early career

5. 1990: Huffy “10 speed” hybrid type bike. Bought his and hers models at a K-Mart for about $75 each.
6. 1992: Trek 400 Multi-track, first bike of modern generation with indexed shifting (thought it was magic) and first bike purchased from a real bike shop. Cost $400, which I thought was a one-time only indulgence.
7. 1994: Bianchi Veloce, first new road racing bike (got me hooked). Cost $1,100 and I thought that would be a one-time indulgence. Started crit racing with that bike at the tender age of 40. Progressed up to the local “B” group, then quit racing because I liked my body parts more or less in their designed position.
8. 1996: Specialized Allez. First aluminum bike and first bike on which I learned to do basic maintenance. After repeated flats, it finally occurred to me to replace the rim tape. Problem solved and I felt like a professional wrench.
9. 1996: Centurion. Used bike (started a trend of multiple bike ownership with stable of some newish and many older bikes)
10. 1998: Purchased the Bianchi Veloce back from the guy I sold it to (first of many attempts to correct a regretted sale).
11. 1999: Trek 6000 Mountain bike. Owned for 3 months. Discovered I did not like mountain biking
12. 2000: Generic (unbranded) aluminum road bike. I’m pretty sure it was a Raleigh platform. Bought the frame for almost nothing. First bike I built up from parts in the garage. Used it as a foul weather bike. First time I fell in love with downtube shifting.
13. 2002: Litespeed Classic. First titanium bike and first truly high-end road bike. Cost $2,500 from Colorado Cyclist which I thought was a one-time only indulgence.
14. 2003: Giant low end mountain bike owned for about 2 months. Forgot I did not like mountain biking.
15. 2005: Raleigh “Record Ace”. Along with the “International” this was a retro styled bike intended by Raleigh as a kind of commemorative version of their bikes from the 50s. May have been my first internet purchase. My first completely independent build from parts in the garage.
16. 2010 : Serotta CSi. First Campy build
17. 2012 : Serotta Fierté carbon and ti mix
18. 2015 : Specialized Allez
19. 2016 : Lynskey Viale. Still riding.
20. 2019: Giant Defy. First carbon bike and first (and only) disc brake bike. Purchased the wrong size (expensive mistake)
21. 2019: 1997 Cannondale R900. Always coveted Cannondales when I could not afford them. Had to have one.
22. 2020: 2008 Cannondale Synapse. This bike helped me discover that I needed to bump up to a larger size.
23. 2020: Pinarello Gavia. Reignited my love of classic steel bikes and began a period of increasingly irrational and redundant purchases of lugged steel bikes. Still riding.
24. 2020: Serotta Legend Ti. Still riding.
25. 2021: Pinarello Treviso. First attempt at a full restoration including DYI repainting. Turned out ok but learned how incredibly difficult it is to paint a bike in the garage.
26. 2022: Serotta CSi 25th Anniversary Edition. Still riding.
27. 2022: CIOCC Designer ’84. Still riding
28. 2022: Pinarello Sestiere
29. 2023: Serotta Atlanta 25th Anniversary. Still riding
30. 2023: Ritchey Road Logic (on order, expected in October)

Current stable: 6 bikes (4 steel and 2 titanium) with another steel bike on the way
