I've only ever owned steel bikes!
In order of purchase:
GT Karakorum. She must be 20 years old now, bought from new.
Some sort of Raleigh Racer. I've no idea what model it is, as it had no logos on it when I bought it from a mate for 20 quid. Nice to ride, but the friction gears are a 'mare!
Now rackless as I don't use if for the commute any more.
Ridgeback Voyage bought on the Cycle To Work scheme for my 26 mile round-trip commute.
Nice, solid, dependable...bit dull!
My newest and prettiest! From the sale at Evans. I lusted after this model when I was buying the commuter but couldn't justify it at the cost. But for 350 quid I had to have one.

Here for rides.
Woz! that plug racer is a pretty bike indeed and a steal (boom boom) at that price.
Is the frame laquered? Hope so and that it is better quality than their paint which is made of rice pudding skins. (on mine anyway)

Liking the colour - watch out for trees 'jumping out in front of you' - they are buggers for that.

I'm surprised dan bo had to replace that Koffenwotsit - didn't look that bad to me, couple of scratches.
You seen Planet X have got Kuffenbic frames for £99 at the mo!
