Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to own a variety of bicycles. Some have remained for quite some time, while others have been mere blips on the radar. I have found that the ones making it longer were more versatile (providing the ability to use them in various circumstances), and/or they were simply great at the specific task for which the bike was intended. A few still remain as part of the bike fold, but most have moved on to their next owner.
For those who may be curious, my currently built and ridden bikes include:
Rivendell Sam Hillborne
Velo Orange Campeur
Rivendell Hubbuhubbuh Tandem
Rodriguez Tandem
Yeti Beti SB5
Bianchi Reparto Corse EV Ti
Surly Midnight Special
A list of the bikes owned at various points in time can be found below, along with pictures.
