[d8mok]

Divide the length of ownership by your age.

It’s kinda the whole point of the thread if you carefully read sir ….. it’s not how long in years , but as a percentage of your life.

We’ve had many how long have you owned your bike threads but thought it’s interesting when it’s compared to your life.

Oh, I have a GT performer, given to me by someone in the UK snowboard association (NO I CANT REMEMBER WHY) when I was 16, so that's 62%.
Road bike (decathlon) I bought new at 21 with student loan, 50% and still going strong.
Everything else is around the 20% mark.

GT LTS… 54 percent.

Yikes. I feel ancient.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Never going to be sold.

Excellent point. I neglected to mention that. 61.36% thus far.

Muddy Fox Roadrunner. Present from my dad when I was 13. Now age 46 and still have it so... 72%.

My oldest is 25 percent exactly. That made me think, since there have been a few; what the amount of bikes owned is to years lived?
This is actually 1:1,6, so every 1,6 years a bicycle.

 

[M-Power]

Owned my Team Comp for 59% of my life so far, a total keeper.

Harry Hall 531 road frame, bought when their shop was bombed out in 1996. Merlin Cycles Malt steel bought the same year. I was 22, so owned for 55% of my life.
Both pretty much valueless to anyone else but important to me.
