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

I just updated my list :)

also just noticed...

holy thread revival, kid.

it's a nice thread, i couldnt watch it die.


it was an entry-level roadie: cromor tubing w/tri-color ultegra, bought new, circa 1986. gorgeous iridescent pearl white with a chrome fork...don't recall the model. *great* bike. really...a fantastic ride. a complete and total steal at the time, around $600 as i recall. my first quality bicycle, and one that (in hindsight) really out-classes a lot of more thoroughbred rides.

Couldn't agree more. Sounds exactly the Lupa i had, spare the color and my derailleurs were 105. Sorry to hear about it getting stolen. Mine was a few sizes too small, so i had to part with it :/ Canada sure can make a hell of a bike.

fixed gear 3 wheeler (plastic)
strawberry shortcake- banana seat
blue SS coaster brake banana seat
(some more i can't recall)
Sheety specialized MTB
Bertoni road bike- w/ 600
Vivalo track- mixed parts
Pinarello road- ultegra/ DA mix
1976 Schwinn Paramount track- w/ full Campy record pista
Spicer Track - Out of town bike- mixed parts
Custom track frame built by william mills- mostly campy record parts
Colnago road- 600, soon to be replaced with chorus or record if i find a million dollars on the street.

This is an update for my original post back in 2006:
2007 Specialized Ruby Expert with Ultegra
Custom Holland Titanium (in progress) w/ Force

I've owned way too many department store BMX bikes, beach cruisers, and 10 speeds as a child to be able to count, so I'll start from my adult spark in cycling interest.

1) Raleigh Grand Prix - totaled when someone ran over it as it was locked up.
2) Bottecchia conversion - traded for the frame below
3) Raleigh/Carlton track - supa fly, and the nicest bike I've owned, but it was way too small. traded for the bike below.
4) Frayzee Paris World Sport conversion - still have it, though it's waiting for new tubes
5) GT Force road bike - my current daily workhorse

As a kid(70s):
fixed gear kids bike
small framed three speed
dept store 10 speed
young adult:
old fuji 12 speed with cx tires and flat bar
giant mtb
later on:
haro mtb(died from collision with car)
last 7 years:
shogun conversion(still own,currently running on 42s)
nishiki conversion(retired,now turned into franken chopper with polo seat and long fork)
60s skyway three speed(died of broken frame)
motobecane mirage conversion(given to a friend)
schwinn continental
'08 pake(still own)
'09 leader 725(still own)
schwinn mirada(ice bike,suicide hub and studded tires)currently canibalized,waiting on parts
sterling super sport(needs new wheels)
'10 tommaso augusta
'10 tommaso imola
porteur bike based on '85 schwinn le tour luxe
tall bike(almost done)

I'm going to list bikes I've owned as an adult as I had far too many as a kid.

1995 Trek 730 Multi-Track (my favorite)
1997 Raleigh R-500
2007 Trek 7.2 FX

Really wanting to pick up a 2011 Salsa Casseroll but I'm not far enough into biking this time around to justify the purchase. Maybe in 6 months to a year I'll get whatever model is available.

Oh why not ...

KID: Sears BMX with white plastic disc wheel covers!

Vintage: 1979 Colnago Mexico - Super record - some dumbass tossed the orig wheels and replaced them with some shimano 126mm 7 speed crap ... so this will be my winter restore to full campy hubs - tubular rims - and 6 speed FW - project bike.

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.

thats it.

so i parted that 91 cdale after about a year. wheels still reside in the basement.
12. cramerotti tt 'funny bike' 650/700. build completed but bike dismantled and parted almost immediately due to realization my back doesnt do that and tt bikes are dumb.
vicini retired due to structural concerns. RIP.
13. 09 felt breed sscx. i love.
14. mid 90s giant CADEX ALR1 105 build. didnt ride. i just sold this.
the 90 cdale is singlespeeded. internet cries.
15. miyata 612st. rack, fenders, triple crank --street cred plumments into negative values.

Looking at this list, I'm a lifelong Shimano guy.

...various cheap-o bikes

1985 Schwinn World in grey with pink decals. ~$200 Very good bike for the money, I rode hundreds of miles on it in late elementary school.

1986 Bianchi Portofino touring bike in dark green with yellow decals. $425 exactly ( lawn mowing money). Very very nice looking bike. Front and rear racks, Shimano something or other with six in the rear and friction levers. Cantilever brakes. I joined a bike club and rode probably 50 miles/week on this. The first bike I really loved. I think my parents still have it stuffed away in a barn.

1988 Miyata 912 in white and black, first real racing bike. $650. Birthday present. Full Shimano 600 (ooo, SIS!) , Nitto cockpit. I really loved this bike. So fast and smooth. Great frame for the money and a cool paint job. Here's a picture of the exact bike I had:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_whtVpXkKwlQ/R1wzYDQppYI/AAAAAAAAAUk/VMpfD53FKvQ/s1600-h/img129.jpg

1989 Trek in blue with pink decals (again? Remember, this was the eighties). ~$900. I wrecked the Miyata in a race and messed up the rear triangle (and my collarbone). Bonded aluminum frame. Full 600 Ultegra (the gruppo with the blue and green rectangles on it). "Matrix" wheels, but I bought a pair of Mavic tubulars for racing. I never really liked this bike for some reason. Raced the **** out of it, though.

1990 Tommasini Comp ($800) from Colorado Cyclist with full 7400 Dura Ace ($700), Modolo cockpit ($300) (the really cool looking grey one), Selle San Marco Regal ($100), Campy "aero" seatpost ($65), a bunch of different wheelsets ($????). Quattro colore paint, which still looks awesome to me. Chrome rear triangle and fork. Columbus SL. This bike was simply the **** in the early nineties. At this point I was racing every weekend. I did some world championships qualifiers centuries on it, a crapload of crits. ...and then I stopped racing.

1991 Kona Cinder Cone MTB. $600 exactly. I went to college in mountain biking heaven. Road biking fell by the wayside. Off-white paint with black flecks. Full Deore. OK mountain bike. Got stolen.

1991 Trek Mountain Goat. $300 piece of **** for riding around campus. Got stolen.

1992 Cannondale M700. ~$600. Mostly Deore LX. I replaced the rear mech with XT. Loved, loved, loved this bike. Great forest green color with silver decals. Very light for the time, but still tough. I rode it every day for hours in the mountains, met people on it, scared the **** out of myself on it, etc. Stolen in 1994. (It turns out my college had a real bike theft problem, they busted a bike theft ring involving security guards and fences in Cape Cod my senior year. Also, I was a dumb ass 18 year old who left his bike unlocked. This one was stolen when I left it for literally about 3 minutes though, so I can't really take all the blame.) I was somewhat pissed that this bike was stolen.

1994 Specialized Stumpjumper. $1200. Full Deore XT, silver paint. Air/oil fork. I finally started keeping my bike in my room and had this one for years and then gave it to my brother. OK mountain bike. Didn't love it like I loved my dearly departed 'dale. I had several scary/bizarre/thrilling/"altered state"/epic/wtf adventures on this bike, though so it will always have a place in my heart.

And then, a short break...

...165 pounds


... 200 pounds


2001 Trek commuter with Shimano Nexus internal gearing. $500 Had it one day and it was promptly stolen out my high rise building's "secure" bike room. I really liked riding it that one day, though. Filed a police report and AmEx gave me my money back.

...235 pounds, peak of my fat-ass ness. I'm. Never. Going. Back.

2002 Diamond-Back bike trail bike. We will not speak of this boat anchor. It's still hanging in my garage.

I start running and swimming again.

...145 pounds. Yes! Back in fighting trim. My wife wants me to gain weight. Nah.

Last year I bought a 2006 Madone 5.2 off of a friend for $750 and start riding with a group again. Very fast and smooth bike, extremely light and comfortable. I like the traditional forward rake of the top tube (compact looks like ****, I'm sorry). 6600 Ultegra which is great stuff. Not sure I trust the carbon fully... I'm definitely a retro-grouch. I feel I'm getting close to the shape I was in in high school which is probably bull****, but hey let me dream. Did my first tri on it a few weeks ago and did well! I like the Madone, it's a great frame as far as I can tell. Don't really love it though, not sure why.

2010 Mercier Kilo WT. Dark green. Stock except for the $20 Crank Bros candy pedals. I love this bike. It's like a combination road/cross bike with hybrid slicks and track hubs. I'm sold on single speeds (maybe because I live in Illinois.. no hills) 48X16 even works with the group. I do 25+ MPH on a packed limestone trail on it while furiously dinging my little Incredibell. I do out of the saddle sprints on single track in the foggy dark with my MagicShine blazing. I'll take it on group rides and still be able to pull... occasionally. I've beat the crap out of this bike this year and loved it. I rode it today. Also, riding this bike makes you seriously strong when you go back to the Madone. This may be up there with my Tommasini and Cannondale as my favorite bike of all time. It's fast, fun to ride, maintenance free, tank-like, very smooth, fits like a glove and cheap, cheap, cheap. Goes to show you it's not about money.

Big Wheel, various early 90's Murray/Huffy/Roadmaster's from Wal-mart and K-mart, Dyno VFR, SE PK Ripper Looptail (the old school BMX version) DK General Lee, Standard STA500, Hoffman Deebo, 7 bikeless years, chrome Bianchi Pista that got stolen the day I bought it (someone unbolted the base of the street sign and took it, lock and all), 2010 SE Lager in woodgrain. The Lager is my one and only at the moment, and it's almost completely OEM. Over the winter it's gonna get taken apart and put back together with some new parts.

no name tricycle, Big Wheel, several dept. store Sting-Ray clones, couple of Muffies, couple of Diamond Back rigid fork mtb., 2004 Trek Fuel 80, 2005 Orbea Dauphine, 2006 Bianchi San Jose, 1960's Raleigh Ltd.-3, 1975-ish Raleigh Sprite 27, 1976 Raleigh Grand Prix, 1980 Schwinn Collegiate 3-speed, motley collection of kids bikes from Goodwill for the grandkids, and a 60's Schwinn Barbie.

1970 Schwinn Paramount
1982 John Howard
1984 Pinarello Treviso
1987 Moulton Fuso
1990 Colnago Master

i had this exact kettcar. no joke bombing hills you could swerve and hit the 'e-brake' for some sick drift action. my rear tires were completely worn smooth.

The only bikes I've had as an adult are my Kilo WT, and a Ross McKinley mountain bike with big cruiser tires and non-functioning derailers. I have an almost all-original 25" '77 Schwinn Traveler I ride/maintain as my own, but it really belongs to my female roommate who is way too small to ride it.

As a kid I remember having a Huffy Sigma and a number of other crappy BMX and mountain bikes.

I only got on bicycles a handfull of times between the ages of 14 and 30.

Well there had to be a tricycle, but I cannot remember the make or model
There was a bike that had training wheels because I remember when they came off
(My sister had a beautiful blue and white bike--circa late 1950's)
I inherited my brother's green J.C. Higgins single speed
In 1968 I get a Sears Spyder 3-speed (still have it in near mint shape)
In 1973 I get (I wanted a Targa) a generic 10-speed (repainted it and sold it).
In 1976 I bought my own Supercycle (Bridgestone) Excalibur 10-speed (still have it)
In 1995 I bought myself a Sears Free Spirit Northstar mountain bike (still ride it today)

Diamondback BMX- rattlecan black, have no idea where it went.

Raleigh racebike from the '60s- candy apple red, and way too big. Wrapped a towel on the toptube for a seat.

Faggin roadracer- Special ovalized Columbus tubing, full panto, candy red with metallic. All Campagnolo with 28 spoke Ambrosio Synthesis sew-ups. Got it from my brother..............then sold it before I joined the Army. Big regrets!

Mongoose Rockadile- Got it in Alaska, put full XTR on a $50 dollar frame! Finally broke the frame (metal fatigue) when I was car-free for 8 years.

Diamondback Scandium Hardtail- Got the frame from the pro team, transferred the XTR. Too light for me, rear triangle flex was insane. Gave it to my scrawntoid oldest brother, he still races it.

Schwinn Paramount- 1970 P13 racer, mint condition. Got it from my oldest brother. He had it since we were kids.

Benotto- Fixed gear with Miche components, shockingly fast. Metallic blue.

Faggin- Fixed gear with Campy components, ultra smooth ride. Candy red.

Pinarello Paris- My road rocket, Campy Record and in bright red.

Assorted frames and parts. Been cycling since maybe 1980-

Edit- Just found some more bikes when I got up from the computer! Nothing too interesting, just MTB.

First bike was a Magna with coaster brakes when I was like 5.

Then came a ****ty Walmart Mountain bike which became my gradeschool beater.

I stopped thinking about bikes for a few years, and eventually got into BMX. Rode a DK Fury for a while, then got a Fit. I was never any good at tricking, but I loved riding dirt trails and hitting jumps. I realize now that I had the most fun just riding it around.

When I first left for college, I picked up an old Magna road bike from craigslist, which I eventually forgot about. It was really cool to cruise around town with.

Then literally out of nowhere, I decided to get into track bikes. None of my friends were into it, and it just looked sweet. I originally intended to get into cycling to help motivate my dad to lose weight, but he's just way too sedentary. I picked up my Raleigh Rush Hour, which is by far my favorite bike I've ever owned.

About a month ago, I decided to buy an old Shogun to use as a winter beater. I don't plan on throwing any money at it, its just fun to ride in snow. It will be a temporary until I actually build up a 29er.

i cant remember what i had when i was a kid. some specialized rockhopper i think.

i didn't get back into bikes until i was like 26. now im bike CRAZY.
these are all the bikes i currently own right now...i built them all from the frame up so im basically naming them by their frame:

SSFG:
Traitor Ringleader - my "sweet fixie"...purple/white frame but then all silver components with some leather brooks saddle and tape.
Bianchi Pista Concept - my "track bike"...although i dont live anywhere close to a track. im just hoping one day i move close to one.
Philips - my "coaster brake beater"...old Philips frame from the 60s, coaster brake wheelset, risers, and a cetma front rack

Geared:
Tommaso Imola - my "commuter roadie"...first bike i bought. bought it for physical therapy from knee surgery. what got me bike crazy. pretty much upgraded all parts on it.
Vitus 979 - my "fast vintage roadie"... bought frame cheap. love the looks of it. stripped paint and repainted a few tubes maroon, left rest naked aluminum. super fast. me gusta. also call it the "suicide machine" because its a bonded frame.
Centurion Super Le Mans - my "vintage psuedo cross bike"...bought a NOS frameset and cranks, and threw on knobby 700x32 tires and moustache bars. kind of my grass/gentle-dirt road bike. thinking of getting fatter tires.

Specialized Rockhopper - my "90s MTB bike"...bought the frame for 20 bucks. lol'd at the cheesy 90s graphics when i saw it. realized it looked allot like the bike i had as a kid. built it up with deore and a rockshox fork. fun off roadie.


oh then theres the fiance's bikes (that i built):
Raleigh Mixte - her "pretty coaster brake beater"...some raleigh mixte frame sprayed black, black everything, except pink chain and pink risers. rear rack with an old Crush soda box strapped to it.
Bianchi Campione de Italia - her "celeste roadie"...FINALLY my bike crazy rubbed off. i showed her a celeste bianchi and she was like "ZOMG i love CELESTEEEEE" so its all celeste, celeste stripped tires, celeste frame pump. all shimano 600.


OH and i forgot the Centurion CompTA my father in law gave me...needs some cleaning but nice older shimano 600 components.

so yah there are 10 bikes at my house lol

Still Have, in the garage-

• 1994 Hyper Metro BMX peregrine 48s, GT three piece cranks, sat for about a decade, so a lot of surface rust on the chrome :/
• Some old Cannondale frame stripped bare by the sisters boyfriend and built up with a bastardized assortment of late 80s-early 90s parts)

• 1991 Cinelli Ottomila MTB weird american-italian hybrid designed by Gary Fisher and sold by Cinelli (just got it this past month, refreshed a bunch of stuff, XT RD of the era to match the FD is in the mail)
• Bridgestone MB-4 (again, saved from the CoOp, was just a little too nice and complete to let get taken down.)
• Two old Fuji road bikes (one giant and white with chrome banding/fork ends, one a little more reasonably sized blue with flipped up bars and shimano)
• B*tchin' chesnut '78 Schwinn Varsity, needs a polish, but it's in amazing shape.
• Wire brushed late 80s Giant RS930 dressed up and converted to SS (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/803489-Dear-god-what-have-I-done-(giant-rs930-SS-conversion))
