2004 Gary Fisher Tarpon. Such a solid bike. Throw back to my gel seat toting, reflector rocking, V brake days....miss the heck out of that thing.

It was a GT Aggressor, polished bare metal finish. It had big fat aluminum tubes and welds stout enough for a Mac truck. I thought it was the coolest bike ever made. Rode that bike through multi day adventure races.

[MtnHound]

It was a fluorescent lime Shasta rigid circa 1989 that promptly was stolen. I ended up with another one except it was orange.

Mine was a 92 or 93 Specialized Rockhopper.....I still had it and then moved out of my friends house about 8 years ago to move out of state and couldn't fit it with my other stuff.....I think he gave it to his brother or something, kind of wish I would have kept it....it was Purple with Yellow decals.

In 83 I had a specialized rockhopper, it was stolen then I had a trek antelope I think and it was stolen too. Then in 84 I think, I got a specialized stump jumper that I rode for a lot of years. I still have it. Not riding it. Looking at maybe getting another stumpy. Have an epic now.

I spent most of my younger yrs riding BMX bikes; I had a Diamondback Viper and an '97 GT Mach 1. I beat the crap out of those bikes in the trails, jumping everything I could. Once I outgrew those, I got an awesome Roadmaster from Toys R Us; that bike got a bent rim, and just destroyed as well, and I ended up giving it to a friend. Next I went to Wal-Mart and bough a Mongoose F/S bike (first F/S), and I ended up breaking the cassette off, and the rear shock spring. Next, I went to ***** where I bought another Mongoose F/S bike (my current one) and I'm using that unitl I destroy it, or save up money for a REAL F/S Mt/XC bike.

I ride HARD, I jump everything I can, go fast, and go through everything; I don't have high expectations of my current rig and hope it holds up long enough for me to save for a real bike. I LOVE F/S bikes, so whatever I get WILL be one of those.

1993 Diamondback Sorrento. I was 10 years old and MTBing was almost as cool as roller blading.

later in its life I turned it into a single speed. It was stolen while I was at college in 2001

[iamspartacus]

1988 GT Timberline. Black with purple accents. Sold it when I graduated from college.

Crappy Diamond back which my parents gave somewhere between 1995-1996. It was bad but I had fun with it until it got stolen on 1999.
