Your favorite riding bike

[weisan]

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

[Gummee]

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

Right after that was my Boone

1997 marinoni ELOS with campag chorus 9 speed

[colker]

1997 arx steel Pinarello Vuelta w/ Campagnolo Daytona. (my favourite bike is usually the one i just rode...)

[boomforeal]

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

[bicycletricycle]

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.

[Black Dog]

My Serotta Colorado II. Just a perfect fit and handling.

I understand your struggle, trust me, I do...but for now, let's stick to the rule...

One entry per person.

let's assume we all have to practice monogamy...for once

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.

It has the perfect figure.

[merckxman]

Jamie Swan, normally ride 23s but I can put up to 32s, take it on and off road, does everything just right.

Before some pal accuses us as a bunch of retrogrouch, can someone please take us to the 21st century?
