I was just wondering how old your bike is. My bike (GIANT RAINIER) is just a few days shy of 2 years old. I expect to get many more years out of it. Sure you upgrade parts and stuff, so I guess i mean your frame. It seems like a lot of ppl are getting new bikes around here...

I think a lot of the people on this board have a hard time answering this question..that is when you say how old is your bike, we say "which one"

My bicycles (2 road, 2 mountain) were made in 1988, 1994, 2003, and 2004.

good point

Shoulda thought of that. Since you can only pick one, pick the montain bike you ride the most. If it's still a toss up, and you can't decide, do eenie meenie minie moe. I am just trying to get a general impression.

Another question - birthday or re-birthday?

I ride my SS the most of my 3 MTBs - I built it up in 2003, but it's a 1992 frame. BTW, the other bikes are 2001 and 2002.

Count the SS as a '92. Components change all the time.

With stories of people breaking their fancy 5" bikes, it's nice to see some older stuff still holding up.

Oldie but a goodie

I'm still riding a '96 M2 Stumpy FS, however very few stock parts left on it. It now has a Fox Vanilla [email protected] 80, Maggie HS-33's, Mavic Crossrides, blah, blah, blah.

One is 2 1/2 (2002). The other is 12 (1992)

 

[Juliius]

got my first bike in '96 ... so that's about 8 years. I still ride it - hardtail Trek

my other bike is a 2000 model and I've had it for about 2.5 years.

...hmmm...time for a new bike!!

1998 kona lavadome crmo steel frame

1998 kona lavadome crmo steel hardtail frame, adorned with lots of paint scraches and minor dings (i use clear nail poish to protect the exposed steel frame from rust). my body has scars from crashing on that ol' bike.
everything else on my frame has been replaced & upgraded, more than once
on the 3rd cassette now, and on 3rd pair of wheels

 

[truman]

My one and only is a steel '95 Giant Sedona - from before they became comfort bikes, now a rigid forked SS.
It feels just like the 94 Trek that walked away, lo, these many years ago

Results so far.

They seem to be pretty much what i expected. Although there is still a good amount of older stuff kicking around, a lot of people are riding around on very new machines. Since i don't like spending money, maybe one day i will be able to put my bike in the 7+ year old catagory. I dought that i will be able to resist the urge for fs that long though.
