Mamil Posted February 6, 2020 Share Jehosefat... you are a sick man. The bug has bitten hard and n+1 syndrome has you in its grasp! I jave one word of asvice.... ENJOY!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) Jehosefat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted February 6, 2020 Share In the unlikely event of my wife reading this I have a few old bikes, all dirt cheap but increasing in vale, and I’m not getting the new Pyga and it definitely won’t be worth more than my 20 year old Pajero Long Wheel Base, MORNE , Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that the 20 year old Pajero's petrol for one month costs more than a "new Pyga" .... so if you commute on the new bike for a month and a half you are "making a profit" Long Wheel Base, Riaan H, Wayne pudding Mol and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted February 6, 2020 Share My MTb's are heading for 3 years on the frames but 7 on some components and my road bike is about 15 years old. My car beats them all though - it will be 18 in May. Might need to move out of home before then though... Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted February 7, 2020 Share I'd like to say i am anti consumerism but the only reason I'm not pushing PBs down the faircape loop on a new top fuel is about 5 foot 10, blonde and registering for first year at stellenbosch. If she's your daughter, good luck. If she's your skelmpie, then the faircape loop time is the least of your worries. i would have thrown a "gap year" idea in there... Those are really expensive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted February 7, 2020 Share My Trance is 4years old. Actually, the crank on that Trance is 4years old. Everything else is newer. Frame was warranted a year ago. My hardtail is a spoeg en plak story. The frame is around 10years old, the fork and wheels are 4 years old. Brakes 5years, SS Drivetrain is 7years old, dropper is a year old.
