how old is your bike?
5 of my bikes are 6 yrs old or less.
1 was 11 yrs old before it died.
(Oops! that 3rd option should be 7-9 yrs old, and maybe that first option should be 0-3 yrs old)

What about less than 1? Has been an expensive year of replacement bikes - current road ride is almost a month old, MTB about 7 months...

first bike in the garage is about 4 years old, but seeing as it got squashed by a truck going 70... unridable, however it'll fit in my purse! (keep it to remind me that people driving in cars are totally unsafe.)
second bike is a 2003 model i got late in 2002 and had to special order because it wasn't out yet.
third bike is in the process of being created. hoping i get it delivered before/on/near my birthday in feb., and it's a trike. (going trike due to first bikes untimely death and almost my own death.)
cheers

One frame is 20 years old this year ( I got it custom built in 1984) and only recently took off the original rear mech to replace it with ergo. The seatpost and handlebars are still the originals, everything else has been upgraded or changed (several times!)
My other bike is 41 years old this year, but has been refurbished and most of the gear on it dates from the late '70's.

Between 11-13 years old, chromo-steel Ritchey logic tubing.
Welded by Tom Ritchey during the Champion P-23, P-22 series bikes.
Somehow mis-decaled, (frame no# is later than decal and different series)
Most of the p-series interest is in Germany- I kinda wonderer why?...Oh yea, Gary the Fisher and Old Tom made the best steel racers.
12 years old, 22 lbs and a nice build. Next bike for me- Klien or a Fisher...or a Ritchey.

I have one that is 3 years old and one that I just puchased (frame set) and I am building it up. So I guess it hasn't been born yet.

My Diamondback hybrid is a 1991 that I bought 'new' in 93.
She has a few miles on her but people still ask if it's a new bike . I keep it inside the house with my 2000 Motobecane roadbike. I wax them more than my truck!

The old kona's 13 years old, the rock-combo's about the same, if not older, and the soma's about a year old.
If all goes well, there should be a new one within a month or so.
