Too good a bargain to miss out on. I thought I'd use it as a donor bike for a custom Ti fatbike frame but I've not felt the need to replace the frame. Looking forward to my second winter on it.
29er Canyon hardtail, now a bit muddier than in this picture, needs a dropper
My 5 in 2010
Last Frame was a Flaremax, Last full bike a Pickenflick. I nearly pushed the button on a Diverge last week as a new commuter but then my LBS showed me the Ridley Kanzo Fast.
Trek Rail 7 in December.
I just bought my daughter this:
Does that count?
Mk3 Stooge here, love it!
Planet X carbon Evo Disc. Just in time for lockdown at a super bargain price. It is pretty epic.
Orbea wild fs
Last bike purchased September '19 was this:

I am looking to replace this next year which I'm posting for @footflaps benefit, albeit yesterday I realise what a mine field it is so currently can't be bother to consider that:

Banshee Titan frame from a fellow forumite . Wibble
Picked up my new Spur on Friday. First impressions are excellent. Had a T130 for 4 years prior so will be on this a while I think!

Stooge Scambler, about a month ago. Great evolution from my Swift, though I've put gears on now.

As a family we have sold more this year than we have bought.
Fist up was a Stumpy ST when Evans were selling them off at silly prices.
[img] 
[/img]
Next was an impulse purchase Levo SL in lockdown after cancelling the Alps trip. Swapped quite alot of the stuff out for what we had in the garage so its nothing like the photo
[img] 
[/img]
Had been looking for a frame for Abigale for quite some time when she found a full bike at a bargain price
[img] 
[/img]
It was supposed to be used as a family bike but when she returned from a month of wild camping in the Alps and couldn't stop talking about it we decided to source another.
Managed to find one just for me and swapped some stuff over from another bike.
[img] 
[/img]
Sold three bikes in the last couple of weeks and just got one left to sell.
Overall upgrades with not much outlay in the end. Once the last one sells will probably be at break even for the year
YT Jeffsy, over a year ago now (September).

I have technically just paid for a titanium, gearbox, hardtail frame but that won't be delivered until close to xmas, so doesn't count.
MTB wise my last purchase is a 2020 Norco Optic C2.
Also purchased a Cannondale Topstone for road riding (although its seen little use)

Morph Cycles full sus and a 2020 GT Zaskar for messing about.
Bought a bargain flat bar singlespeed off FB marketplace for £250. Always fancied a Cinelli...

Added drop bars, and rebuilt the wheels with tubeless rims, to make a stealth commuter bike:

Bought this for commuting, been great - 1*11 is all I need for the commute. Not riding it much since lockdown as we're mostly out on the tandem (the bike I bought prior to this, as it happens), I'm on;y using it for popping to the shops and so on.
Last bike.

Don't ask me how it rides as this has stopped me even trying it yet.

Just before March lockdown got a Vitus Sommet CRS (2019 version) and then a month ago bought a new Spesh Diverge Elite. On the flip side, I also sold an older Diverge and my 2011 Spesh Stumpy FSR Elite...so have only maintained an overall 'n' equilibrium 😉
Newest is a Whyte E-160, replaced a T-130 as my daily full suss. Loving the 'fitting more riding into the available time' aspect. Did a 33-mile night ride last night, then home for tea 👍🏻
Just building up a Revel Rail that arrived yesterday
The last one I bought for myself...2016 Norco Sight

Smuggler frame. about 30s ago...
Bronson C Frame bought new at the start of the year with a deal from Pedal&Spoke. Wheels added in May and it now wears a set of Lyrik Ultimates. Still running GX 11spd which refuses to die.
Focus Jam2 Nine 6.8 with a few upgrades.
Not running the tan wall DHf's now its wet.
Purchased? Laverack Jack Disc.
Actually arrived and in my possession? Scott Addict 10.
June was a bit mad 🤣
A Stanforth custom 853 filet brazed jobbie to replace a venerable 531c 1980's era tourer put through a Volvo flavoured mangle last year. Awaiting its maiden tour due to COVID-19.

Ibis Ripmo v2 with a fairly custom build, received 4 days ago so still not even fully dialled in. Stunning though, DW link is magic.

Last bike actually acquired, my long awaited but very lovely 18 Bikes No.9
Last bike purchased, Transition Ripcord for the boy, which should be here just in time for Christmas.
Not 100% sure which one I've been more excited about TBH, wee man's going to be so stoked.
Another Anthem for the shed. Last of the 27.5s.
Last one bought was this for my boy

a proper good mix, which is nice to see.
Added drop bars, and rebuilt the wheels with tubeless rims, to make a stealth commuter bike:
Impressive conversion!
Mmm, like that ^
*that being the steel Stainforth at the bottom of page 1, thread moved on!
Full disclosure, by employer bought it and I'm renting it off them. 'They' made a really good choice though, suites the riding I do pretty much spot on. Whyte 629 V2. 
BFeMAx, which has been a great trail centre hardtail for the last while, and would continue to be if I wasn't going back into lockdown.
I bought a new Evil Following frame and a new Banshee Paradox v3 frame and have just about finished the Banshee build . Evil was finished first but have hardly been out yet so noises what either will ride like.
Trek Farley fat bike.
My 60th birthday present to myself was a Reilly Gradient built to my spec.
Last was my boy's Remedy (off a Pinkbike ad). Before that my RM. Here they are back in the days of nice weather

Bought back in Feb before the world (and bike prices) went mad.
It was an absolute bargain at £1,900, which I then made less of bargain by changing half the parts.
This was the last one I bought. Giant Revolt Advanced 2 2019:

Have just ordered one of these (minus the Hope bling) to replace my 2014 Bird Zero, but probably won’t get it until January 2021:

Cheap n cheerful Big Dog at beginning of year
This one, just in before lockdown. Nice little commuter/workhorse bike, gets used most days instead of the car for short to medium journeys. Used a lot more than my Four.

Is that Bixslade?

Bought last summer. Still paying it off! 🥺
A 2013 Orange Alpine 160 bought on eBay about 3 years ago. Upgraded it with carbon wheels and some xtr and it’s now around 30lb which is pretty good considering how much abuse it will take; far more than me that’s for sure.
.
Just put a deposit on a 2021 Focus Jam E-bike. Delivery in March. Possibly ......
Fixed wheel, drop bar converted Decathlon Tilt 100 for Son2. Currently hitting the mean streets of Carlow on 44x12.
..
Last bike purchased and actually got ....
Stanton Switch9er
Last bike purchased and still waiting for....
Deviate Highlander.
Geometron G1, amazing bit of kit. Swapped the fork out for a Lyrik, didn't get on with the 36.
Kinesis ATR Ti V3
..
Is that a white bike in a snowstorm far away?
The last frame I bought was a Kingdom custom Vendetta, but it won't be in my grubby mitts for 2 or 3 weeks yet.
Prior to that, it was My Pole Taival, built July last year.

2006? 853 inbred SS and Geared
I cant believe its that long ago
Love my inbreds and cant really see me getting anything else if I'm honest
Calibre Dune Fat Bike 🙂 ... Dec 2019
no idea how to post a pic of it !
An IROK+ Fade. Haven't picked it up yet, but it has a pink tyre and a green tyre, it can't possibly be bad.
I was working round a friends house recently,they lent me their bike to take away and try......a few weeks later they didn't appear to want it back and I didn't want to give it back-so I ended up buying it .I had no plans to get a new bike,I very rarely buy bikes but fate just kind of intervened this time.
Mondraker Dune:
A BMX (wethepeople versus) and it's ace and worth every penny. Older and used but in really good nick. Great fun!
Sonder Camino AL in Aug'17 (photo from Lac de Gérardmer - lots of STWers know where that is!)
It's great for just riding from the door which was very useful this year!
