2,220 miles for 2021, which is pretty good for me. I can't break the miles down by bike, but the 1965ish Cinelli with the Campy 10sp triple set up got 75% or more of the miles. The Eisentraut (also Campy 10sp triple), the Ron Cooper (7sp friction, Eroica compliant) and the other 1965ish Cinelli (5sp friction, Eroica compliant) split the rest of the miles, with the Eisentraut probably getting more than the other two.

I laughed at myself when I read this. My GPS on December 30 showed 3965 miles, so I rode 35 miles on December 31 to round it up to 4,000.

I keep a simple spreadsheet to track miles per bike, but I lost most of 2021 in a PC meltdown. I think I was running about 30% on my modern bike, with the balance spread among 6 vintage steel bikes and one vintage aluminum bike.

A couple other vintage bikes stayed on the wall all year and may find new homes this year. The mountain bikes, the track bikes and the tandem also didn't see daylight, but are keepers for now. I retired at the end of 2021 and hope get them all on the road, and start to slowly reduce the collection.

• Koga-Miyata Graveller ~1300 km (807 miles)
• Batavus Randonneur GL ~90 km (56 miles)
• Koga-Miyata SilverAce no idea but probably a couple hundred km as well. I ride around 10km a week on it at the moment for short commutes.
• Gazelle A 15 km (~9 miles)

2021 was going pretty well until domestic situations shut down my early morning and weekend riding in early October. Still, it came out as -

79.8 miles - 2002 Mercian Vincitore fixed-gear
18.4 miles - 1971 Gitane TdF fixed-gear conversion
1 mile - 1982 Mercian Colorado (first time I'd been on it in years, for a shakedown ride around the block)
68 miles - 1986 Cannondale ST400 (Clunker Challenge bike no. 1)
259.1 miles - 1988 Centurion LeMans (Clunker Challenge bike no. 2)
421.4 miles - 1988 Specialized Sirrus (Clunker Challenge bike no. 3)

850 miles total.

Among the surprises -
- my fewest fixed-gear miles in many years
- absolutely ZERO miles on the '76 Puch, the '73 Raleigh Competition with the Dingle drive or the '74 Allegro (now dismantled but likely to be reassembled)
- Zero miles on the '88 Panasonic DX3000 ($35) or the '86 Univega ArrowPace ($24.99) I purchased in the fall - I had already mothballed the '89 Schwinn LeTour for the next running of the Clunker Challenge 100.

Ok, so now I want to know... What do you about Frek over Alex? I have the same issue between a 610 and 710 and was wondering before I sell one (I have never built the 610 (1979), 710 (1982) being my main ride)

It's really all about how the two bikes are set up, and not so much about one Trek model vs. another. Both bikes are heavily modified and pretty differently equipped.

Frek is setup as a classic Randonneur style bike with 650b x 42mm tires, frame-mounted centerpull brakes, fenders, lights, front bag and more.

Trek 614 (Frek)

Alex is more of a stripped-down gravel/rough stuff bike, also running 650b x 42mm tires, but with knobbies. I added canti brake mounts and a few other braze-ons. Alex has no fenders, lights or baggage.

Trek 710 (Alex)

Frek suits the style of riding I usually do. I ride a lot on gravel roads in the Cascade mountains and foothills, but I need to ride 20 miles of paved roads to get there first. Frek handles the paved and unpaved roads equally well, and carries the food and extra clothing I might need, and the lights are useful when I don't make it home before dark. Alex is only necessary when I'll be riding on something that you can't honestly call a "road."
