[Just J]

Great day in morning! I feel like I should have owned more bikes .

I seriously wish I hadn't had so many, although some of them were/are through work, I think I'd be a better rider if I'd just stuck to one bike and learnt to ride it properly, instead of getting bored and swapping.

I love my Dekerf's I ride the Implant SS all the time, and I don't even miss FS because of it, so I think nows the time to learn my bike and be more than happy with what I've got!

[JMH]

Murray BMX – Really wanted a Schwinn Stingray, but got this instead.
Montgomery Ward 10-speed – My mom’s. She wouldn’t let me take the kid carrier off the back.
Nishiki – Silver. Heavy. But the first bike I mostly purchased myself.
Razesa (generic from Bike Nashbar) - First nice roadbike with 600EX from Nashbar and handbuilt Nisi tubular wheels. Why? Euro.
Mongoose ATB – Big. Chrome.
Cannondale M-700 – My first “real” mountain bike.
Klein Rascal – My first “real real” mountain bike. Best geometry ever, had the painted to match RS Mag21
Pizza Bike (chrome cruiser) - Bought it with an REM disk, Sold it for half a pizza.
Trek 4XX (Schwartzblitzen) - Flat black and crappy! Campy Victory equipped.
Fisher ProCaliber – All red Ringle aftermarket. This bike never worked properly.
Masi 3V – Loaner bike from R+E. Tried to abuse it as much as I could assuming it would be sold out from under me. It was.
Mongoose Amp 2 – One of my favorite mountain bikes ever. Except for the creaking.
Race-Equipped (Novarra) - Nasty townie covered with Rock Shox stickers.
Marinoni Cyclocross – Painted like the Tricolore. Very heavy because Marinoni refused to build it light.
Talisman – Sloping top tube well before its time. Looked like a bumper car.
Guerciotti TT – Funny Bike. Enough said.
Litespeed Classic – On a team deal through that character Wick at Control Tech.
Diamondback BMX - Why? Don’t know.
Mountaincycles MOHO – Why? Don’t know. Sucky bike.
Marin Cyclocross – Doug had Billato build these in Italy... nice frames. Miss this bike.
Marin Mount Vision – I don’t miss this bike.
Marin TT – Ditto for the Cyclocross frame. Cool frame, but no aero fork. The euro’s were still trying to figure out Aero. (have they yet?)
Cannondale CAAD-4 – Helen’s team bike. One of the better racing bikes I have had.
Specialized Allez – Inherited from my dad for use as a beater. It was.
Cannondale Tandem – Had this for a grand total of 6 rides and 6 months.
GT Track - I only hazily remember this bike. Rode it maybe 3 times. Too small for me.
Supergo Access ATB – Bought the wrong size frame, marked 18” but only 16”. Rode it for 2 weeks, too lazy to return it, sold it instead.
K2 Mod-5 #1 – Red and White. Sold to some guy up north who tried to return it to me when his brother-in-law damaged the frame.
K2 Mod-5 #2 – Stolen from behind my house with my Bonjour FSA cranks. I was pissed.
Guru Crono #1 – Guru sent the wrong frame. I complained.
Guru Crono #2 – Got this one instead. Very cool TT bike, fast and ugly.
Ridley Supercross – Scored by Claudio. Not impressed by geometry.
Empella Cyclocross – Good geometry but lost interest.
K2 Mod-5 #3 – This replaced the stolen one... still being ridden by a cool guy from Belize.
Ibis Fixed Gear – Bought frame, fork and headset for $25 from Helen’s mechanic.
Merckx SLX Fixed Gear – Super cool, but how many fixies does a guy need?
Orbea Altec Carbon – Best racing bike I ever had. Black. Fancy.
Ritchey Access Comp – Free from a friend. Made it into my first SS, but never took it off road for fear of The Death.
Orbea Airplane Fixed Gear – Another fixie? Geez.
Orbea Onix – Team bike that replaced Altec Carbon. Nice, but lacks that certain something.
Santacruz Superlight – I guess I had to own one eventually.
Bianchi BUSS – Really ugly singlespeed.
Huffy (Buckler) - Rusting and busting. Chainstay made from Titec Hellbent bar.
Kona Cowan – Super fun and versatile bike, made me want a full-suspension bike again.
Orbea 29er – Possibly the last XC bike I will ever need until 2007.
Transition Trail or Park – The street and urban bike that the Cowan wasn't.
Ironhorse 7point7 – The Crushinator

Some random off-brand BMX bike

High School/College
a salvaged 10-speed clunker - abandoned one night in a, um, recreational haze, if you catch my meaning;
Trek CrossRoads (this was when hybrids were still more like mountain bikes than comfort bikes) - run over in a driveway;
Fuji Berkeley cheapo road bike - abandoned during a move;
Some other Trek hybrid thing - stolen;
a '94(I think) Kona Lava Dome - stolen; (I still miss that bike!)

Adulthood
'99 or '00 GF Hoo Koo e Koo - hated it, sold it;
'01 Rockhopper (this is where I got the bug) - on the trunk rack when I got rear-ended;

Current Stable:
Steel Nashbar frame frankenbike - for errands and goofin' around;
'01 Marin Nail Trail - bike path/trailer hauler;
Surly Crosscheck, Dark Green;
'05 Stumpjumper comp - my first FS bike;
'06 Salsa Dos Niner blinglespeed softtail - my wife's still mad at me for that one.
