Dialled Prince Albert Classic since July 2012 and the Rockshox Pike that are on it are from 2007 and still going.
Come to think of it the SLX brakes are from 2009 and only ever had one bleed recently.

All good value for money and it's not as if it doesn't get used.

Main (and only) bike is built around a 2009 frame. Pretty much everything else is 2014/15
Had to make my own linkage as it's that old Intense don't make some spares for it any more..

As with all things STW, I fear there is probably more than a little self-selecting sample bias to the 'bike stable' ages given in this thread.

Nearly a year, but without the slightest hint of any regrets, so it's looking good.

10 years next month. Keep promising myself a FS but can't get inspired by many of the new designs.

Quite fancy a Dawg to do as a project or a Tanuki. Always liked Kona.

Just replaced my eight year old Mongoose, and only then because I cracked the frame.

Replaced with a seven year old Mongoose.

Main bike 2011 Covert, back up for use if doing any longish distance XC with younger legs to try and hold onto, Carbon Pronghorn but with it's long stem removed and wider bars fitted, Road bike I've used it twice can't see why anyone in their right mind finds riding in all those traffic fumes, dodging potholes, spinning like a girl, anything other than extreme tedium, it's a Wilier Imperiele thing I swapped some kites for it, he got the better deal.

4 years old - but that was an insurance replacement otherwise I'd still be riding the carrera that I had for 2yrs before that

triggers track bike had a major rebuild about 3yrs ago and the road bike is about the same kind of age.

I'm not planning on getting anything else although I may go 1x9 or 1x10 on the mountain bike and possibly new brakes at some point because the juicy3s are s***te

defining "Main" is tricky eg my cx commuter that does the most miles is just over 12months old, but MTB my most ridden is a 2003 heckler and my "bestest" rufty tufty-est, only brought out for "proper" rides mtb is a ~2007 hemlock.

Most of the components aren't as old as the frames, some ageing cranks/hubs/saddles tho.

my main bike was a 2011 Bfe, but i stripped that last summer and put the parts onto a 2013 Liteville 301. I've ridden that only twice, having ended the season prematurely after a bad crash.

My most ridden bike (that is fully built) is my 07 Marin [b]Qua[/b](c)[b]ke[/b](rs)

Just checking my mail, main bike is from 2004 - older than I thought! (Just the frame, seatpost and clamp - I think most of the other bits have been replaced at some point or other).
