oldest bike, still being ridden on a daily weekly basis?

[barry2017]

My 1948 Raleigh Clubman? It's currently the only working bike I have. I use it every day, and it's brilliant.

You'll spend a long time waiting for some bikes to break.

I ride 5/6 days a week on my Trimble frame number 230 to work. And on retromeets/off road rides number 409
Wouldn't ride any other bike.

My '93 Zaskar frame has achieved some 45,000 - 60,000 miles commuting/ off-road/ under water.

That was my only bike for many moons - now I have 6 others to choose from.

My 88 Lava Dome sneers at your purple late comer. Or will, when it gets its left crank back on.

(Too bad you didn't do this thread yesterday, when I still had a Ha-ha-Only-Sirrus to sell.)

Dont think that is an 88 with canti's on the back and a forward facing seat collar. Just an observation.

Kinda weird, even in that condition I find the Kona beautiful... Why are modern frames so fugly? Is it the front suspension compensated frame design that kills the 'lines'?

Love the RM too, especially the fork...

Agreed. Why do yungsters and new riders want full suspnsion this, disc brake that. Bike designers at the moment are befudled they just can't come up with clean lines like they used to. Give me a double triangle and i'm happy.

Why do you want to break your Rocky Mountain Hammer (18.5" ?)
There is nowt wrong with it.

It would work so much better if you cut your outer cables and used the cable stops :roll:

Theres plenty of good looking new bikes around at the moment, even with discs!

The average bike buyer is a befuddled boob. Some of the designs - thin tyres and suspension forks is a special unfavourite of mine - are ridiculous.
