Every bike you've ever owned lists....
 

just curious.. let's see some.. start with that tricycle your grandpa gave you all the way to your current steed

Some Free Spirit stingray type bike
Free Spirit 10 speed (blue with Positron shifting)
Specialized Hard Rock sport (promptly stolen)
Schwinn High Plains (heavy piece of crap)
Cannondale M400 (Added Answer fork, eventually converted to single speed. Also stolen)
Cannondale R500 (Currently in pieces. Rattle your teeth out ride)
Gary Fisher Dual Sport 229 (Kind of like a flat bar cross bike, bit wider tires)
NYC City Fixed

Several banana seat bikes inherited from the kids across the street (all stolen)
Huffy BMX (Stolen but recovered from 2 kids riding it around a parking lot. It was covered in fish bait)
Univega 12 speed
Robinson BMX (First nice bike. I loved that one)
Dad's Peugeot Mixte. Fun bike to ride.
Specialized Stumpjumper FS Hardtail. (Still have it. Use it about once a year to get dirty)
Beach Cruiser (bought for $20 to ride while on tour)
Bianchi Strada single speed conversion (First fixed)
Nishiki Prestige Conversion
Bareknuckle
Sintesi Marina Conversion (Still waiting for that one after winning it on ebay).

Thats all I can remember. There were probably others.

Small red Huffy with streamers, basket and trainning wheels. 4 - 5 years old
Blue Huffy with spoke beads and for some reason, flat bars on a BMX bike (?). 5 - 9 years old
Some no-name MTB that I found on the road with north bars. 9 - 12 years old
Specialized BMX with a nice pair of FSA cranks. No brakes. 12 - still have it.
Old Raleigh Grand Prix. Converted a year after I got it. 16 - still have it.
Puch 130 (dumpster find). Converted right when I got it. 17 - still have it.
Bianchi Pista Concept. About to be with Mavic rims laced to Dura-Ace HF 7600 (thank you Kyle). 19 - 20 (present).

Right now i'm saving to build up my Concept and buy a road bike. Don't know what kind though. Thinking a Cannondale that my friend might sell me for around $300.

Some walmart bike, then a dyno vfr, then nothing for a long time, then I got a fisher xcaliber mtb, then a raleigh rushour which is my current bike.

red tricycle (I think my grandpa did give this to me)
red Sears 12" (8 yo neighborhood bullies stole & destroyed this)
red Schwinn 20" (like a kids version of the Collegiate)
chrome & red Schwinn Predator w/Skyway mags (later stolen when left unlocked)
black GT Performer (jr high grad gift)
grey Rockhopper (bar ends, slicks, fun city bomber)

and then the decline into FG

weird Trek 420 (?) with 7 spds (just a rear der)
Mongoose 24" bmx cruiser (I messengered on this bike for a bit)
red Merckx SS conversion (stolen & then discovered stripped & busted across the st. from my apt)
brown Raleigh SS conversion

bikes in bold I still own

Some of you guys have amazing memories.

my very first bike was some sort of bmx with a coaster brake. i would spend whole days on that thing. i lived in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dirt roads and wheat fields. i'd ride for miles, have skid comps with my friends, ride wheelies and wreck. ah, it was fun.

moved to philly and i just didn't see anywhere to ride a bike, since i was so used to wide open spaces. eventually lived outside philly in a house next to a big field whose owners let local kids play in it. then i got a trek mountain track. my friends and i would play tag on our bikes. sometimes we'd play where only "it" got to ride the bike. that's when people got hurt. it was sort of fun.

then no bike, no bike...finally moved to portland and rode a bike that had been stolen from a friend, who was able to re-steal it. i don't know what sort it was; i saw the name maybe once because we promptly covered the bike in stickers and paint to disguise it from the crackhead who stole it. wasn't mine, but i rode it.

eventually decided in needed a road bike, a schwinn le tour. pretty solid as le tours go, at least in the frame. the brakes and derailers were crapping out by the end. i wanted to convert it, but couldn't afford the wheelset. i then moved,and it wasn't worth the cost to transport it. *sniff*...the bike whose eventual jankiness led me to desire a fixed gear...

i was also given a raleigh that needed some fixing to turn into a grocery getter. again, not worth the cost of transport.

purchased a specialized allez which was a fun bike. i took many long rides in the mountains outside boise on that thing. but when i moved back to portland, i wanted to work up to the velodrome and saw a bianchi pista (with upgraded parts) on craig's list. the poster wanted to sell the bike in order to buy a road bike. so we met up and traded. he and i are friends now, both messengers in portland. my bike started out as his work bike and is my work bike now. my bike became his work bike for a while until he sold it to the girlfriend of another guy, who's using my old bike as his work bike while his is getting powdercoated. it's a fun little story there.
