man...i can't remember the models of some of the mountain bikes i've had. i don't know which mercian i have now. maybe if i post pics of it someday, somebody can tell me.
1. murray bmx
My first bike at age 8. Black frame with black top tube pad, stem pad and handle bar pad. One day an older kid with a speedometer on his road bike clocked me at 20 mph. Not sure if that was accurate, but I accept it as fact. Kinda sad....haven't gotten much faster since.
2. redline rl20a
Probably put more miles on this thing than any single bike I've owned. I idolized R.L. Osborne...he had the tongue wag down way before Michael Jordan.
3. raleigh mountain bike
Worst bike I've ever owned. Slow as molasses and heavy as h3ll.
4. haro mountain bike
Decent commuter. Wish i woulda held onto it.
5. k2 zed 3.0
I've put thousands of miles on this thing. Currently my bad weather/snow bike. I thought about getting rid of it after I went fixed, but it's been great this winter.
6. 1984 Trek 400 (fixed conversion)
My first fixed gear! Picked this baby up for $65 on craiglist as a geared bike, went single speed and then fixed. It was just too big.
7. Leader 735R (2001 Campy Daytona Group)
First road bike. It is also too big. For some reason it took me having 2 large bikes to figure out I really needed a 50 or 51cm. Still have it but wanna put the components on a smaller steel frame eventually.
8. 1978 Mercian ? (fixed conversion)
Picked it up at veloswap this year and immediately converted it. It's my favorite ride. Can't wait for some decent weather so I can take it out!
edit: added note on each bike
