2009 Gary Fisher Big Sur. Plenty of pics of it on here somewhere.

Still love it, but wanting to replace now with a certain modern fat bike.

Actually, when it comes to road, most of my mileage has been on 1930s bikes this year.

2004 Orange P7
2005 Keewee Cromo Eight
Love them both to bits and can't see a good reason to replace either frame, however I'm a serial component breaker so they get replaced fairly regularly.

This frame was built in 1990. Tange Prestige fillet brazed & brings a new meaning to 'Triggers Brush' as the only original tubes are the RH seat & chainstays. It's the bike I use the most & would never ever get rid of...

Also have a 2010 5 for Sunday best & a 2011 Spesh Allez road thing which gets little use.

Built a new On One Inbred this time last year.
Would still have my 2008 Meta5 if it hadn't been stolen.

Not doing it again on this if I can help it. I'm getting to the age where a FS 29r will save my lower spine from excess wear on rides over 50 miles

Nice Zaskar! Had a few, including a '97 in yellow and an '09 Zaskar Team in blue - fantastic to ride, also had a '98 LTS DS, and most recently a 2011 Trek X-cal 29er - now own:

2015 Trek Fuel Ex 5 29er - not a light bike but feels so well planted and fun. I'd agree that FS 29er is the way forward 😉

Yeti ASR 2004 Built up in 04 as parts wear out or break I replace it.
Still ride great and I still love riding it.

Rock lobster 2007 hard tail again still rides great.
Wouldn't buy another one unless I proper break it or something really nice turns up. NOT 29er,,
