Your favorite riding bike
List your favorite riding bike.
You don't have to justify anything as long as it's yours and yours alone. One entry per person. ;) I will go first. 1996 Rivendell Road Standard http://alicehui.com/bike/rides/IMG_2222.jpg |
My favorite riding bike was my TIGed SL Battaglin I got for pennies.
Right after that was my Boone M |
1997 marinoni ELOS with campag chorus 9 speed
|
1997 arx steel Pinarello Vuelta w/ Campagnolo Daytona. (my favourite bike is usually the one i just rode...)

how am i supposed to pick just one?
the rocky mountain hammer i learned to ride trail on, took to parties when i knew i'd be leaving in no state to drive home, commuted through 4 winters, and finally destroyed couriering in montreal the 53cm marinoni i toured across ontario on (i'm 6'2"). might have been the tubs but that thing cornered like no bike i've ever ridden the single speed apollo grand sport, which was the only bike i owned in law school, was both a blast to ride, especially on the trails around UBC, and soaked in wonderful memories the brodie sovereign i bought right before i graduated got me back into mountain biking. so smooth, so classy the chromag samurai i bought with the insurance money from the theft of the sovereign got me hooked on mountain biking in bc. un****withable the proto banshee prime was probably my favourite riding trail bike i ever owned (as long as the trail was pointing downhill -- i swear that frame weighed 10 lbs) the xprezo adhoc i owned briefly before i moved to the east coast illuminated progressive mtb geometry, made me feel like a boss on stuff i would otherwise have walked my surly wednesday, one of the few things i look forward to when winter looms and now a year-round pleasure with 27.5+ wheels my lynskey gr270. three rides in, i think i'm in love |
My 650b chapman, just feels like home.

This is a timely post. I've just been wondering how many people love their Moser Leader AX's? I just recently acquired mine, an Oria tubed one. Only two rides, but it's fantastic! I mostly rode my Della Santa Osso Buco this year. The Moser is every bit as nice. |
My Serotta Colorado II. Just a perfect fit and handling.

My Bilenky Signature Clubman (now called the Tourlite).
I has long, 43.5cm chainstays, and short BB drop of 6.5cm, but I just enjoy its steering, which has little to do with the other two! It's not too racy, not too slow, turns easily but has all day straight line manners. It's also a jack of all trades of a bike; it can carry stuff, and laugh at the rain. |
