Here’s a taster of the bikes I’ve had in the past, starting with the most recent and going back as far as I have pics for. I like looking back over this…
The latest addition, my Baum Ristretto – perfectly accompanies my Corretto. Another wheelset likely appear in the coming months. Bar tape and saddle colours still being fine tuned too:
The Dream Machine. My ‘bike for life’. This one will come to my grave with me – my Baum Corretto:
The proper mudguarded, excessively bling, massive spacer stacked winter build – Kinesis GF_Ti:
The ‘never drive your dream car’ surprise – Pegoretti Duende:
First bike to fit me properly – Look 585 Optimum (that I probably should have kept):
Excessively-bling workhorse Ti singlespeed Enigma Esprit:
Built to race enduro only to be sold because of my shoulder – Ellsworth Truth (with monster seatpost!):
Giant Bowery fixie:
Tubs for daily use and back to Ti – my Lynskey R330:
The weird one – Cannondale SystemSix. Kinda liked it though, and check the MASSIVE head tube!:
Bling CAAD9 – great bike. Front end slowly rising!:
Super-lovely Scapin Bandit – sold to fund replacement road wheels:
The start of the light weight brake, black saddle rail and black brake track fetish – Cervélo R3:
Still one of my best looking builds – Cervélo Soloist Team:
Trek 69er. This one got away – sent the wrong size, got charged twice, was so annoyed I bailed on it!:
First Ti road bike – Omega Enigma (now Enigma Esprit). Monster drop, short stem, tiny head tube!:
My tasty Brompton – still regret letting it go!:
Alfine-geared Santa Cruz Chameleon. Probably my first über niche bike – very cool:
Proper bling MTB – Yeti 575. Looked amazing:
Second road bike (had a Giant before the Scott MTB below). The one that secretly gave me the bug:
My beloved Nicolai – Rohloff’d Argon FR. Still regret selling it (probably 2006/07):
First Ti – Rohloff’d Pipedream Nevis (this one cracked. Twice):
Dialled Bikes Love/Hate – previously rigid, subsequently Rohloff’d:
Singlespeed bling – my Kona A (2004):
My first singlespeed – a Surly 1×1 (late 2003):
Scott Expert Racing – my first return to MTBs in 2003:
