Singular? Come on STW, don't most people on here have more than one? 😀

Aluminum 1 1/2 (1 is just a frame)
Steel 2 (1)*
Carbon (1)*

*(road bikes)

3 or my bikes are steel not through a love of steel per se, just cos 2 of them are old.

MTB : 2 aluminium
Road: 1 carbon

Never been particularly fussed about having a carbon mtb , but love the carbon road bike.

I've had many steel road bikes,years ago. Would still like a steel mtb, one day.

Have 2 steel mountain bikes (Moonlander and a Krampus) and 1 steel road bike (AWOL) which has such a harsh ride, not digging it so far! (I just got it three weeks ago)

1 x steel - MTB-SS
1 x steel - CX
1 x filing cabinet- MTB
2 x alloy - MTB
1 x alloy Carbon Forks - Road

Have had carbon [MTB] but it broke after creaking for months with me unable to find the source.
Would but another but unlikely to pay a premium for it.

Seriously, it's up the back of the garage, I can't even see it most of the time. It serves one purpose- it stops me from buying another bloody stupid bike. I had a reasonably nice haro bmx that was exactly the same- bought, fixed, rode twice, parked. Had it for a year, sold it, then [i]instantly[/i] decided I wanted a trials bike. Bought it, fixed it, you get the gist.

There's got to be a market for vac-formed fake bikes that you can hang on the garage wall to do the same job. You pay a man, he sneaks in and replaces your real bike with a realistic fake.
