This is my trail bike, it really rips and even let me know how novice I am as a trail rider. No worrie, once they sewed my eyebrow back on the modelling gigs started to roll in again

Nice bike. Simple but effective. I'm also surprised you didn't damage your glasses. You need to get some Rain-X on the lenses!

Don’t think I’ve thrown this in the ring before:

doctor-bond’s 1988 Team Stumpjumper. had it since 89; apparently the press bike used in the MBUK Lanzarote article; ragged and toured around the world; now living out its best life as my daily driver.

Linky to more here

Oh what the hell, why not.
It won't win any prizes but it's probably my favorite bike to ride on.
Walk the dog in the Amsterdam Forest with and really anything as a daily driver.
Don't really have spiffy photo's but it's whot I got.

Spankyfarts' 1995 Indian Fire Trail
No buildlog as all bikes I started a buildlog for turned out to all have cracked frames.
Mix of WI, XTR, Titec, WTB and XT.
Azonic shorty with a 12 pound weighing Surly Sunrise.
Almost sounds like a Haiku.

oldave's 1993 Kona Lava Dome. "Just a bike."
Done 1,750 (35%) of my 4,542 miles YTD. Amuses me that combined bike and rider age a mathematically neat 105 years!

Impressive statistic !, I can claim only 100 years of existence for myself and the first bike I bought with my own cash, I am also not going to comment on which has withstood the test of time the better

My '91 Tech Nova, still sporting the original tires (they are Maxxis). Will be rebuilt with DX asap, but can't wait for another riders month. My most ridden mtb these days, and it's a lot of fun.

Seems they have your name on 'em. At least the front one.

Rear one is different
