• Past Bikes – Bikes that I let go of along the way that still have a place in my head.
  1. Colorful Stumpjumper
  2. Trek Fuel 8.5 – good fun bike, dented the frame in a big way, now it is no more.
  3. Schwinn Racer – two-speed kickback, such a simple bike 🙂
  4. Schwinn S-30 – because of the Sweet Spot™ rear end; it was an experience, then I moved it to a new rider.
  5. Schwinn Sierra – all original 1987, needs a little fixing before I ride it; tuned it, experienced it, then moved it onto new rider
  6. Kona Dew Disc – great bike, with exactly the spec’s I wanted, but never seemed to fit right

  14. Univega Sportour – mid 80’s – shouldn’t have sold it to buy Prelude.
  15. Kia (toys-R-us) 12 speed – actually not as bad of a bike as it sounds

  17. Murray Wildcat – green fake Stingray – Christmas bike in a box from my dad, my first build.
