Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - every bike you've ever owned lists....

from what i can remember

white handme down with training wheels with removable top tube to change from girls bike to guys bike--no idea what happened

black and gold BMX style 20" huffy with coaster brake--no idea what happened to it

blue and white splatter huffy MTB -- destroyed it when i jumped up the curb at my parents house and the deraileur went into the rear spokes

1995 raleigh m-60 - got it as a birthday present in 8th grade this bike was the main bike i used for everything until i graduated college- just recently put track ends on it to run as a SS- I'll never get rid of this bike

2003- Iron horse warrior MTB- bought before grad school to use as a commuter do everything bike- still have it and have upgraded it to my MTB only bike

sierra road bike- given to me by my girlfriend- converted to SS- crashed and ruined the fork- my brother now has it as i built it back up with a new fork

meral fixed gear conversion- weird ass frame with french threading---first fixed-- sold still see it around town occasionally

fuji fixed gear conversion- my daily rider now

raleigh sprite fixed gear conversion- total pos built up using left over parts i had-- suicide hub mtb front wheel brakeless--good times

mongoose BMX-- bought it off craigslist for fun

schwinn frontier hybrid- in the process of turning it into a cruiser with a 3speed SA coaster brake rear hub and banana seat

thats all of them i think...

Middle and High School: a campus green Varsity. Used it a lot around town.

Grad school: some sort of road bike. Got it free from an in-law. I have no recollection what is was. Did not use it much.

Currently: I will limit this to bikes I actually use regularly:
- Nishiki International 10 speed.
-Bridgestone/Kabuki fixy with northroads and big grocery racks.
-Peugeot MTB fixy. Crappy weather bike. Please steal this one
-Raleigh Record fixy. My main road fixed gear. Might replace with the Bilenky I just got.
-Fuji Espree fixy. 53x13 gearing. Just to see what gearing like this is like. I am not man enough to use it much.
-Miyata 5000 MTB fixy. My good MTB. But I use it as a errand runner around town mostly. Cool blue chain and chainring.
-Trek 330 12 speed. Used to be my main geared road bike. Might sell or convert to fixed gear. Anyone interested? Has been displaced by...
-Handmade Bilenky Sterling. All campy. All cool. Not sure if I will leave as is and replace the Trek or go fixed and replace the Raleigh.

-Trikey

-Big wheel

(blur)

-Some chrome framed X brand BMX with a 1 piece crank, red anodized everything and a coaster brake. I loved this bike. Once got my shoelace wrapped around the pedal axle and took a tumble. I couldn't get out of it because the coaster brake wouldn't let me backpedal. For a reason that I will never understand, this kid that was generally a grade A ****** helped me out. He ended up being the FedEx driver for my work and I'd occasionally wonder if he remembered how much of a dumbass I was that day.

-Some black splatter painted X brand BMX with 1 piece crank that I somehow broke the frame on. That bike must have been a piece of crap because I was a little dude at the time.

-Huffy MTB with sidepulls that I hated. The teenage metalhead neighbor guy had a killer Mongoose that he'd let me ride sometimes. He ended up being one of my soccer coaches when I was in high school. It was weird seeing him sober without a ponytail. Sellout.

-Magna MTB with cantilevers and SIS shifting. I thought I was the ****. My parents sold this one at a garage sale when I went to my one year of college. For some reason, it made me a sad panda.

-First bike that I paid for myself. I wanted a Klein, but couldn't afford it. I got some sort of Univega MTB with my minimum wage riches. I thought I was the **** again. Bright red CRMO frame with STX-RC components. I decked this guy out with anything cheap and anodized that I could get my hands on.

-Sold that when I was 17 and got a Trek 6000. Once again, I wanted a Klein, but couldn't afford it. This was right around the time they came out with the fatty tubes. I was so excited to be on aluminum, and looking back on it this thing weighed a ton. This old bird stayed in my stable for 9 years, but I finally got rid of it in the great bike purge of 2007. Went through a ton of changes and I still kind of miss it.

Moved out on my own and lived in numerous places with basements or garages. This is when things get crazy. I'll just list off what I can remember, because I probably owned at least 30 bikes in the course of 5 years.

- Univega Viva Touring SS convert
- Blue Viscount of some sort
- Cook Bros BMX cruiser. So awesome.
- Numerous Schwinns of all varieties dating from the 60's to 80's. Mostly Continentals, Racers and Le Tours, but nothing amazing.
- Tiny Miyata 910 that I turned into a 1x9 for my then girlfriend/now wife. It killed me when this got stolen.
- Beautiful Ross Professional fixed conversion.
- Trek 610 that I still own. My main conversion and one of the two bikes to survive the purge.
- A couple of Columbia cruisers.
- A barn find ancient rust bucket of a cruiser. I couldn't ever figure out who made it.
- Vintage Rockhopper. Insert Chuck Norris joke here, but in lieu of "Chuck Norris," say "Rockhopper."

I finally built myself up a pretty damned good pile of stuff I didn't need and got engaged. Suddenly I was moving to Seattle and had a valid excuse to get rid of everything. I donated everything but the Trek conversion to a local shop and packed my bags. Now I live in the NW with a wife, a dachshund, a Trek conversion, and I also picked up that Klein that I always wanted when I was a kid.

Wow a Cooks cruiser, that thing must be worth a fortune now...

Wow a Cooks cruiser, that thing must be worth a fortune now...

I'm sure it probably could have been. It was destroyed when I garbage picked it, and it was only slightly less destroyed when I donated it.

Blue fixed gear with solid rubber tires
16" Pinnacle BMX (I think it was called a Pinnacle...)
Some kind of Murray BMX

*the above dates reflect the purchasing date, not necessarily the model year of the bike

-Tons of early bikes ranging from plastic big wheel to tricycle to small bikes with training wheels.
-Mongoose 26" full suspension bike (walmart present when I was a little kid) (Still am... :P)

-Fuji 10-Speed

I only have the IRO, Fuji, Concord, and Star Spangler currently However. I'm working on another tall bike since mine got stolen.

^^^^Man, I never thought someone would steal a tall bike. Seeing as there's only a handful anywhere at once, you think someone would notice you one their extremely distinctive bike.

After talking to some people around here, They said they have seen it... but they didn't know it was mine at the time. I think its still around here somewhere but I just haven't seen it yet. Can't wait till I do.

That sucks about tall bike getting nicked. I hope it turns up.

Ok...let's see...

First bikes as a kid were all generic from Sears or some **** because my mom was hecka poor:
-Crappy BMX bike.
-Another crappy BMX.
-Crappy CRAPPY "road bike".
*ditched bikes completely for skateboards until 15 years old.
-Trek 820 Antelope.
-Really heinous old Mantis XC bike but it had the full Campy MTB group which was wild!
-Salsa Ala Carte with XT group.
-Flat black cruiser bar bike with ape hangers with pink grips and bmx pegs for picking up the ladies. Got stolen from my garage during some party we had.
-Bridgestone RB-1 with mostly 105.
-Old Raleigh looking frame/fork from dumpster, my first fixie conversion.
-Really old Bianchi with integrated headset from dumpster, that was second fixie conversion.
-Salsa single speed mountain bike (one of the first five made) with some pretty sick components.
-Peugeot frame/fork that I got from a roomate and was my third conversion.

Current and only bike!
-Detel (???), crappy, old, heavy, lugged frame with hella dents and chips and it's my best conversion yet. Super fast. Super fun.

edit: Oops, forgot one. About 11 years ago I acquired a ReDUMBant which I promptly sold. I did ride it around for a few days though just to see what it was all about.

red and white tricycle.
huffy bmx. solid rubber tires.
murray mountain bike. 10 speed, but the shifters never worked. ever.
another murray mountain bike. found in a ditch. used parts of both murrays to keep one working bike for a long time.
unknown gaspipe mountain bike. built up by me as a singlespeed with parts from:
trek 830 mountain bike with bent to **** frame.
suteki 10 spd road bike. way too small.gaspipe.
schwinn traveler? lugged ladies frame.
schwinn varsity. converted to single speed.
it gets tricky around this time, because i started acquiring so many bikes, both for parts, to sell, give away, or use for art projects. so lets ignore the ones for sale, sold,gifted, being built, and piled in my backyard, maybe i'll just list the ones i ride often enough?
nishiki citysport. 26" wheels, upright bars, 5spd grocery/cargo bike
gitane kilo track.
trek 510 usually single speed/occasionally fixed/occasionally 10spd....this is the bike i use everyday. its the bike i tour on, and the bike i get around town with. it is one of my best friends.
tall bike, made from 2 schwinn road bikes.pink.
if anyone has a higher end, early 80's trek road frame, 57cm, i would like it to be my next...

little red learner bike....once the training wheels came off, I had to have stitches in my chin twice trying to wheelie off of a crack in the sidewalk

1972 20" Schwinn Sting ray... i don't remember the details, but presumed stolen.
1977 27" Murray 10spd... dunno, presumed stolen
1972 Schwinn Pea Picker...still got it. Needs full restoration

'78-'81 i raced BMX for a shop and rode various frames, Redline, GT, SE Racing..and ended up with...
1980 Raleigh Racing...stolen...I had discovered girls, beer and cars by then, so it wasn't really missed...til now..it was a sweet ride.

First bike as an adult..
1992 GT timberline...stolen...D@mn, I only ran in the store for minute...
Next..
1994 Cannondale M500..sold later to finance
1995 Cadex Carbon Tubed MTB..Marzochi (sp?) LX/XT..Stolen...somene jacked my ulock at a 311/hole show..but the next day i bought
1996 Cadex Carbon main tubed/ al rear triangle. a step down from the last but I was riding. this was stolen out of my girlfriends kitchen, during the day, while we were in the other room. damn..At least her renters insurance covered it. Full boat too, I was working in a shop and had tricked it out for next to nothing, and replacement value was 2600 after depreciation. I took some of that and bought (at pro-deal shop costs) a..
1997 Specialized Stumpjumper Pro... Still have it as my only MTB, the only original parts left are the frame, seatpost, and stem. but i am starting to feel old enough to justify the full boinger purchase to be.

I was given a 198? Benotto Modelo 2550..columbus sl..had 600 and tubies on it, but had been in a barn on teh property for 15 years. it got converted to my first ss/fg, still have it.

I bought a 2001 breezer venturi frameset from a friend who had tried to open a bike shop...unsuccessfully..and had it boxed in his garage. I still haven't seen another one. It rides like dream.

1948 schwinn phantom... it was my uncle's, and had been under my grandparents house for 40 years, needs work, but it will ride again.

198? GT MTB...it was abandoned after Katrina, and is stripped to be painted and built up as an 8sd grocery getter

Next up:
touring rig, most likely a surly Long Haul Trucker...before Memorial day
Full suspension MTB..I'm about to turn 40, can i give up my al hardtail now?

I only really got seriously into biking like a year and a half ago after all my friends were riding in college, so I went 4 years without really riding(except when i lost my driver's license for a few months after an accident when I was 16)

Some fixed-gear thing (said NO BRAKES on it!)

Huffy BMX w/ coaster brake

Geez. That's a ton considering I'm still 17 (but for less than a month now!)

Hardly remember any from my childhood. One that comes to mind was an old german 3 speed.

As an adult,

A Murray POS, which inspired me to get rid of it and get with the program.

**edit, just realized I posted in this thread a couple years ago...

a blue, banana-seat, coaster-brake gimmick--my first bike
an english three-speed
a bunch of coaster singles and three-speed uprights in japan, none that i remember the branding because i didn't care
an early 80's diamondback bmx
a late 80's trek road

1) Some old school vintage bike my mom bought for 20$ when I was five years old
2) Sears BMX when I was about 10-----loved it.
3) Talisman mountain bike I bought with money from my paper route---it is a Canadian company, junky
4) Kona Hahanna I bought when the Talisman got stolen----good bike for the money
5) Fell in love with a GT Karokaram and traded the Kona plus cash for it---still have it
6) Marinoni road bike with full Dura Ace---purchased from a messed-up co-worker of mine, I had no use for it and only bought it out of sympathy---it is long gone, sold for $400, I had no idea of it's value then
7) Miele Una LS---bought used for $80, I wanted to see if I would like commuting on a road bike; loved it
8) Gardin road bike---very nice bike with full 105 but too small for me; the parts went onto the Miele
9) Ciocc road bike---wicked bike, abandoned on a post and stripped of everything, it lay rusting for months until I got up the balls to take a blow torch to the lock; still have it and it now has the 105 on it
10) Colnago Sport road bike---purchased with making a fixie out of it in mind, I still have the frame, pics are in my sig
11) Miyata 912 road bike---top of the line Miyata with full Shimano 600 group came my way, I only bought it for the groupo; nice though, pink/pearl colour and it was damned fast
12) Concorde road bike---picked it up for a great price and rode it as a commuter; loved it but sold it after a year as I had no room for it
13) Specialized Roubaix Elite Triple---I decided it was time for a really nice bike and I bought this bike for a great price; Al/carbon fibre frame with full Ultegra, it is an awesome, awesome bike
14) GT GTB track bike---I liked riding fixed enough to get a true track frame and this one came to me at a great price; pics are in my sig
15) Razesa road bike---beautiful Spanish road bike made of Columbus SLX tubing with a full 600 groupo, this bike is very fast and tight
16) Bianchi Trofeo road bike---purchased cheaply on CL just because it was a good deal; I decided to make it into a hybrid and I gave it to my friend for his birthday
17) Bianchi road bike---bought to be my winter beater fixed ride, so far it is nice but the frame is really sluggish compared to my other bikes, I may sell it in the spring

I currently still own the Ciocc, Razesa, Roubaix, GT Karokaram, GT GTB and the Bianchi plus the Colnago Sport frame----I have way too many bikes.

great bike history above.

i cared mostly about skateboards and cars so my bikes have been few and far between.

1. i remember an orange tricycle.
2. german ketcar[do a search if you dont know]. it was yellow and black.
3. red BMX on white mags with yellow tyres and yellow bar pads.
4. first 'real bike' dyno detour. hi-lighter yellow. black mags. i was ballin in the burbs
5. haro air master. flourecent orange.
6. first geared bike - some red CCM MTB from canadian tire. i started skateboarding seriously at this time so this bike got abused when it was used. left outside in the backyard one winter, etc...
disease transmitted via father to son and i became obsessed with cars. american V8s first, then turbo VWs.
7. jump forward like 14 years. bought a metallic gray free agent dirt jump bmx to rip around on downtown toronto. instantly destroyed the black mags i put on for nostalgic reasons. realized i am over 110lbs.
8. 2 years ago wifey tells me to figure out how i am going to keep in shape now that i am getting older. we go on a trip to visit my family in holland. i get a tattoo by mike giant and notice his bike has no brakes... get home and start buying parts and assemble my first FG. 06 langster comp frame painted white/black fork. veep dees, etc...
9. try co-workers giant OCR A0. i need gearzzz too. CL purchase 1990 cannondale SR600. love it.
10. discovered i disliked langster comp compared to traditional geometry after trying others bikes. sell langster frame for ridiculous amount of money - thanks random CL guy. buy old vicini road bike and convert. loose hipster points[if i had any - ewww langster sloped top tube].
11. vaca in bay area right now. buy 1991 cannondale SR600 because i miss riding that much.
