"Guest Bikes" - For friends to enjoy - Spread the joy (maddness) of cycling eh

I figure I so cannot be the only one who owns and has "guest bikes" for friends to ride....

Typically they are for my female friends and so I equip them with proper woman's saddles.

Current "guest bikes" list includes:

2003 Trek 4900 WSD (women specific frame - 16") - highly modified - XTR V-brakes, Bomber folks, etc - I call her "The Valkyrie"
1999 Gary Fisher Joshua X1 (medium) - for easy/intro off road work
1994 Diamond Back Axis (15.5" frame) - Full XT, solid factory matching fork. - set up mostly for city/paved trails/light gravel
1994 Stumpjumper FS (18" frame and matching Future Shock fork) - no idea what I am doing with it yet.

I have extra saddles to swap between men and women because comfort counts and making it easy for friends to get into the sport counts eh.

I also have a few extra older helmets in various sizes as well as gloves for friends to use.

Photos to come.

I also have a 1991 Schwinn Impact Pro (20") for my taller male friends.

So, what do you have for friends to ride?

Usually my bike is your bike if you visit me for a ride.
There's only one or two mates who can't wait for others or like to break things.
For them I have my Rocky Mountain Equipe single speed beater.....
