Raleigh, Trek (usually too heavy although I still have a strange fascination for the naked carbon Y22)

Neutral:

Kona, Gary Fisher (although I always liked the '95 Aquila), Saracen

Orange- uninspiring to ride.

Until the adrenaline kicks in and they come alive in my experience. Only ridden the steel ones mind.

Dislikes.........Kona zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Likes...........Specialized Stumpjumper M2 - What nice riding bike.


NB. Changes frequently, depending on what I had a really good ride on last.

Had a Univega, never really did it for me, KHS, however, did.

Much as it shames me to say this:

Fat Chance.

No bike can be as good as people say they are.

By the sound of things so far, it seems that between us we'll end up disliking every manufacturer out there.

Me.
I just like bikes.

You need to try one to believe how good they are. I would not have four Fats in my stash if they were poop. Nothing comes close after your first long ride on a Fat.
