just wondered how many you all have? having almost completed my first build this will take my tally up to 2, and with the prospect of another purchase of a mush higher spec bike in the sales thought this would be a fun question to ask! :-)

    Could also be a nice way of providing a shopping list for a Burglar - lots of people leave far too much online info lying about, using same usernames etc across facebook / other forums and such!! Not unreasonable for a PC savvy thief to do some shopping if you aren't careful!!
    My biggest fear is that should I crash, burn and die, my Wife would sell my stuff based upon what I told her I paid for it.

    I guess you've got to take the rough with the smooth. But is it really worth having these three things, even for a Colnago?

    If it keeps the forum reading bike burglars at bay then yes it’s worth it ;-)

    Three:
    - Cannondale CAAD 8 Sora (2010) upgraded wheels
    - Spesh Sirrus 2005 no upgrades (former London bike)
    - 531-framed steelie, currently being rebuilt - bike from my yoof', resprayed and being done up, lots of lovverly stuff to put on it :)

    None worth very much, would love to get a better road bike, much tempted by Ti frames...

    No, I'm just a compulsive liar, although that might not be the truth ;-)

    5 but only 2 of them are for me - the rest I bought for the wife and kids (how I hate the thought of that wasted money that I could have spent on a new bike for me) :)

    I presume it's because it isn't an 'established' brand. Just think of the Skoda Superb - if it had Merc badges I wouldn't be disappointed with it. People pay for the brand these days, not the actual product.

    Road - Dolan Preffisio
    MTB - On-One Inbred

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    Given the choice of that or the equivalent Specialized or Trek the Boardman wins everytime, don't get het up about it.
