My Cannondale been with me through thick and thin!

My other favourite bike my Ridgeback (obvs) rapide used for my touring rides over the past few years.
Honourable mentions to my student bike (now pub bike) cx bike (now canal basher) and dad's old fusion MTB which has great sentimental value and tries to kill me when I think I'm still 18!!

Who was the guy on here with the stunning Bianchi plus orange bits?

Most gorgeous bike I have ever seen.

Guilty as charged, m'lord....
Yes I did read the rules, but far too many nice bikes on here. It shouldn't really affect the result though.
One thing though. Two bikes in one post. How can we vote for that? I like your Genesis Croix de Fer, it indicates a rider with style and good taste. But the other one, I haven't a clue what it is. So cannot vote as no way to differentiate which bike the vote is for.... Anyway, from one rider of style and good taste to another (and I do prefer them in white 😉)...

The other bike is my Fuji Touring; which you can read all about here

I agree to an extent regarding aesthtics - IMO over time they've largely got worse in terms of frame shape after yours - more slopey top tube and straight forks on the later model, then dropped seatstays on the current ones.

I also like the simple B&W colour scheme of the early ones and less-some of the more flamboyant efforts on later models. I do like the green on mine, while the preceding iteration was a similar effort in darkish red, which also looked nice.

The later models did get higher-specced variants though (with corresponding changes to the frame) including the through-axles and flat-mount hydro disks on mine which IMO are a significant improvement.

I gave you a sympathy vote, but - sorry - you've got no chance with a green bike

Nearly all of mine are green, you sh*t.

Ive been waiting to award my tick to a green Thorn mercury with rohloff and shiny toe clips 😍

This old thing will have to do. Built up in 1990, handbuilt frame, my design colour scheme. 34 years old and rides like a magic carpet.

 

[Oldhippy]

I have.
