Show us your bike history..

All of them :?

Actually most of what is history is still present for me. I didn't sell or trow away really much over the last 1.5 decade. I am not good at losing things, I am way better at preserving.

Probably missed a couple of Marins in there as well as a few other bikes I didn't own long enough to remember. interesting how many people started on a Peugeot, Ithink my Alpina was one of the better bikes easily available in the UK in the late 80s, might be nostaglia messing with my memory though (I know it had a Reynolds frame)

EDIT: After some thought not sure if it was an Alpina, thinking Atlas maybe? Any Peugeot experts here?

198? Peugeot Ranger - first mtb (second hand!), resprayed it, flat bars etc! :)
1991ish Diamondback Topanga - in fetching grey & pink
1994ish Diamondback Traverse - got nicked, replaced, upgraded to death & then got a better frame;
199? Orange P7 (early one - might even be a prestige). Lots of abuse & more upgrades, on slicks while at uni, now rigid again & SS! Can't see me ever selling this one - I used to ride it to school ffs!
1996 Proflex 856 - got the frame cheap off a mate, got me back into riding... Now with newer X-links, & modern XT kit.
1992? Saracen Trekker Hydrotech. Impulse buy, rebuilt it but barely ridden, despite it being really nice... Might have to go.
1996? Fat Chance Buckshaver. Shiny bits, Judy SLs, lovely :)

199? Nishiki Alien - the alu one. Tiny (girlfriend sized)!
1994 Proflex 854 - bought the frameset but I'm never gonna get round to building it up.

I reckon that's earlier than '92 chap...I've got a '91 (check my gallery) and its an e-stay, fairly sure the '92's were too AFAIK.
