Firstly, my old Marin Pine Mountain steel hybrid:-
Mostly used on the road as a halfway house and general runabout with the CTC and mates. Now fitted with mudguards for the winter. Very comfortable to ride and has a 20T inner ring for any hill out there. Mostly LX stuff with Bonny Road Warrior 1.5 slicks. 8-speed with triple White Industries cranks and SPuDs. Position gives it away that I'm an ex-roadman.
Then my newest frame, Scott Scale 40. Nice Hope Tech X2 brakes, Reba Dual Air forks, Charge Spoon ti saddle and Mavic Crossride wheels. Strictly off-road only, as the Maxxis Swampthing winter tyres sound like there's a hovercraft trying to pass you. I do have some WTB Weirwolf rubber for when it eventually dries up (about mid-August!)
Outer chainring has been machined down into a bashring, so still a good 8-way selection with 11/32 and 34/22 rings.

Device now fitted to prevent further damage.
