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

My favorite riding bike was my TIGed SL Battaglin I got for pennies.

Right after that was my Boone

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

3 favorites. Different reasons.

Serotta Colorado CR with steel fork - Compact crankset, Campy 10 and modern wheels. Just a fun ride.

Serotta Hors Categorie - By far the best descending bike. All day comfort. If it only had disk brakes or paul brakes and wide clearances... it would be perfect.

Kelly Bedford Custom Touring - A totally relaxed ride.

I have others, but those are my favorite bikes.

Every bike

That was killed by a car
That I sold
That was stolen
All those bikes were by far the best
From the wayback machine

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.
