Strava tells me that this bike has done 5km so far this year.

Tomorrow night it is "going to get it".

What have you got that you never ride?

My Fargo.
But, to be fair, I've not ridden either of my Hardtails much this year either 😳

Nope. If it hasn't been ridden in 6 months - it goes.

Hence the single speed CX going two weeks before you asked me if I had a CX bike 😈

Fat bike! Have tried selling it but with the influx of new models on the market it seems that their second-hand value has dropped; can afford to just keep it and use it once in a blue moon.

My 2005 Speccy Enduro.The last time I can remember riding it was 2007!I keep meaning to recommission it,but it's way to good for the stuff I do these days. It's been living in my flight bag for the last 18 months,maybe I'll get back to the Alps next year..

My hardtail (Chameleon). I love it both the times I ride it each year so could never sell it.

My Inbred has languished a bit recently, partly because I got a new cx bike and partly because I just couldn't get the brakes to work properly without squealing. I've only ridden it once since sorting it out, but that was a 112km ride.

I've not ridden my X for the last couple of months, but the last time I rode it it was all the way to Scotland.

My ugly Solitude commuter's getting daily abuse.

The only 'bike' not being ridden is the '95 Kona Hahanna, but that's just a frame and forks really. I don't know that it could be economically returned to a ridable state, though I do have suitable wheels so it's on my "one day maybe" list.

My Roadrat is sat unused because work/schoo run complications mean I can't cycle commute. And have been working late almost every weekday, so my Soul is sat unused too... out on bigger bikes at the weekends.

I would have put up my Niner One9 SS into this thread but me and MrsBouy went riding together today in the blazing sunshine, her on my old Roadie and me on the One9. Ended up chatting about my planned trip on the Santiago de Compastella and she said "do it on that"
She's right isn't she.. 8)

I just sold mine- my 224, realised it hadn't moved since November last year, except to have bits stolen off it. Now on N-2.

I finished my Mondraker in Feb and I've ridden it 4 times since Theberton doing a torso if about 30 miles. I'd sell it but it's just too much fun.

My road bike has languished most of this year apart from the odd group ride. The old and old school xc bike has only been used for riding with the kids and the odd commute.

The 456 and ratty old hybrid have been well used though.

The fixie, the CX and this one haven't been out this year:

[IMG] [/IMG]

...actually come to think of it I'm not sure when I last rode the winter/training road bike or the hardtail. I suppose it would have been easier to list the ones which aren't shed queens.

My Mondraker Summum DH bike:

Only been out on it 3 times this year, my riding buddies say I'm quicker on my Reign, so I think it might be for the chop...

Strava tells me I have done 180 miles on my MTb this year. That's piss poor at best. I couldn't sell it though as it makes me smile every time.

This isn't a 'show me your bikes' thread it's a communal 'make me an offer' thread. 🙂

I reckon my Blue Pig has been ridden three days this year. Thoroughly enjoyed them though.

This thread made me realise I don't ride my Whippet, so that's on the classifieds tonight. Wife needed some new forks, which also prompted the sale, so I can hand her those off the whippet. Other than that, singlespeed is for the winter time and winter road bike, for when crap weather and Di2 don't mix well on the nice road bike. So they have seasons and all get used.

My Orange P7, zero miles this year I think. Not getting used anytime soon either as it needs a brake bleed and I haven't got the tools to do such a think at the moment. Should really get that sorted so I can do a winter ride or 2.

Stripped down my winter road bike (Principia RSL AS) back in the spring, intending to get the frame sprayed as it's looking tatty, but never got round to it. Probably try to sell it as a "bike in bits".

Only done 20 odd miles on the summer road bike (Principia Rex), so that might be for the chop too.

My BMX was has been used once this year, rode it 1.5 miles to pick up the missus car after she left it in a pub carpark and took a taxi, easiest bike to fit in a car innit...

It's got to go now.

My 456 hadn't turned a wheel for over 2 years until the other night when it managed a full 6 miles with a couple of noobs from my local.

My Superlight barely get ridden, which is a shame as its a great bike.

I took it out the shed yesterday, bled the brakes, pumped up the tyres and sorted the gears.

Then I put it away!

My Bontrager has probably done 25 miles in the last two years.

I'll probably keep it forever even though my a la carte is a better bike, and more likely to be sold.

My Carbon road bike by mid July had less than 100miles this year, flogged it and bought new Hope back wheel for my FS and a reverb. Spending the change in the Alps next week 😀

I sold a lot of bikes. I have no Shed Queens at the moment.

Good use for Strava though - confirming where the dead wood in the "fleet" is...

ton speaketh sense. Got a couple frames, some forks and the odd wheel or 3 languishing about the house doing nowt but no "bikes" 😆 The old BMX in the shed is closest to a full bike but it has no tyres and I won't be replacing them until eldest* is big enough to ride it.

*or the youngest, whichever of them actually CBA to learn to ride a bike first 🙄

My Evil Sovereign no longer sees any use. Since I got a full sus 'do it all' bike, it's not seen daylight. Shame really.

None at the moment. Each of my bikes gets ridden at least monthly, although I did have a purge recently and got rid of a hardtail and a CX. I almost regret not having the CX, but I barely rode it since I got my roadie and a 29er.

I still have a 2004 Enduro frame in my cupboard though - I'm saving it for when I have a house with a man cave, and it's going on the wall then.

Never mind bikes you don't ride how about frames you don't build........

Enigma Eclair (or some other such stupid name) bought 2011, sold 2014.

Salsa Spearfish heading down that route.

We once had a thread where folk were measuring frame delivery to build time in hours, or a couple of evenings at most......

Papadirt's Hoss gets ridden regularly - once yearly outing 😆 Anything else gets ebayed the moment it falls out of favour (happens quite a lot 😳 ) but I have owned this little fella for almost 2 years now and only ridden it twice . . . freakin' death trap - lives on the kitchen worktop . . . yes, really.

My Enduro... Work commitments scuppered my planned Alps and BPW trips and now its raining again >.<

If i didnt think it was just the upgradeitis talking i would prolly sell it and the soul frame to fund a mid travel FS frameset.

My 06 Spec Enduro Elite hasn't been out of the garden since Dec 10.
The Genesis Io has done about 10 miles to the pub, over several trips, in the last year.
How about we do some saps. Anyone want either?
What you got?

Haven't got a hardtail or enough things with 700c wheels.
