How old is your MTB?

[Mamil]

The recent thread about the latest Spez E-Bike got me wondering - how long and how often do most of us ride our MTB's before moving on to a newer model.

3-5 years......my car is 18 years old though!

[Eugene]

Bought mine in 2005. Since then it has received 650b wheels, disc brakes, a new fork and it went from 8sp to 9sp.

It use to be every couple of months but have my current bike now almost 2 years, my bike transporter(???? ) 23 years old ???? ????

[Mamil]

Mine is 5 years old - and my car is 9 --- I would replace it if I could justify the outlay which feels almost impossible given that I can still bomb down the singletrack and trust the bike to do it's bit adequately. And to be perfectly frank the weakest link in the trail - bike - rider chain is me!

Mine is 5 years old, although had the frame replaced under warranty last year, so not sure whether that makes it one year old.

 

I sold my car a few years ago, so I can’t boast about the age of it.

[Knersboy]

I am hoping my frame will break so I can get it replaced under warranty, I need to try harder

That is like my grandfather's 60 year old pick-axe.

 

In all that time it has only had 3 new heads and 7 new handles...…..

[Karman de Lange]

My normal Mtb is 4 years old and only replaced rear tyre few times, rest stock.  My  car is 46....

I have only been riding for a little over 6 months, changed bicycle 3 times, current bike is staying with me for a good long while though

that being said. Had a cotic hooligan HT for about a year before transplanting most of the things to a new Soma steel frame. My previous bike was about 10y old....sold the parts...still have the frame for a future project. All the bikes before that i broke lol.

[Jewbacca]

I have 3...... 2 are 2017 models and one is a 2009 steel Haro Mary SS.

 

As I now have a baby I doubt I will be 'upgrading' any of them ever again.

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

I have 2 bikes. My roadie is an old Alpina, and my mtb is a 2015 giant reign. Neither are going to be replaced anytime soon. 

[EbenJ]

My previous Trek I had for 19 years, now have a Spez dual sus for 6 months

[The Ouzo]

I'd estimate my MTB, a Giant Boulder SE, to be around 20 years old.

Only thing ever to be changed on it was the tubes.

 

just typing that out now makes me realise I should at least try and source some 26" tyres and change them, they cant be in a very safe condition.

 

I bought the bike from the original Cycle Lab in Paulshof. Those that can remember that far back will realise how long ago that must have been.
