Hello Ruan Posted February 5, 2020 Share I always buy used and not abused, new is just too expensive.2018 (earlier than this was just too far back but there were quite a few):GIANT Trance (4 months)PYGA Pascoe (8 months)Last year I owned the following:Trek Remedy 7 (6 months)Commencal META AM V4 (2 months)PYGA Pascoe (5 months)And now a COTIC Rocket that I built up using my Pascoe's parts as it was all mostly new.I have owned various hardtails at the same time too but currently just have my Rocket and my GT Chucker.I use to have some extra money and would buy for a good price and sell at around the same price sometimes you lose some and sometimes you even win some. I didn't really mind I just liked riding and working on different bikes that is all.Out of all my bikes I have ridden the Rocket the most but owned it for the shortest time. Maybe not ridden it the most but riding it very frequently, like almost everyday. Edited February 5, 2020 by Hello Ruan ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spokey Posted February 6, 2020 Share Soma steel hardtail 2014, Morewood Zula 2013, Bakkie 2006. The Zula is pretty much retired. The Soma needs the drive train modernised, still running XT 3x10. But it works! Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted February 6, 2020 Share Which one? I have 3. Oldest is a steel Tommasini, probably like 20+ years old, that I use when taking the kids for a ride and I hook the trailers behind it.My 26" GT is about 10 years old.My 29er Merida is 8 years old.I don't really ride MTB so can't justify a new one(and can't afford a new bike right now anyway). The GT and Merida have seen like 90% road, 10% dirt in their lives and the Tommasini has only ever been on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehosefat Posted February 6, 2020 Share I only really started cycling in 2016 on a Merida Hardtail (Big.Nine of some description). Early 2017 I upgrade to my current Scott Spark (so that one is about 3 years old). Mid 2017 I traded in my Merida for a Silverback Space (road bike, which now lives on my indoor trainer). Mid 2018 after I got really into road cycling I bought a really nice Canyon Ultimate (Di2, disk brakes, the works) Did my first enduro in August last year and loved it so I bought my Canyon Strive. So to summarise:Indoor Trainer Bike: 2.5 - 3 years oldRoad Bike: 1.5 - 2 years oldXC/Marathon Bike: 3 years oldEnduro Bike: 5 months oldNo plans to upgrade or get new bikes any time soon (although the temptation is there to get a TT/triathlon bike) Riaan H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
