A TREK mountain bike so old that my young adult children were already transported with it way back as toddlers. Except for the frame everything has been changed and renewed several times over, but I'm sentimental with it.

10+ years now with the Mustang. It's been a great ride. The only repairs I've had to do have been battery and alternator. Though I've only just hit 50K.

Same, but mine's a Concord that I've had since I was 16.  The frame has been re-welded in 3 places (including an entirely new section of tubing for the bottom bracket).  I was gonna just get a new bike when the frame cracked but my bike mechanic (also a frame builder) wouldn't let me.  It's stronger now - used brass for the welds.

Took my MX-5 GT out of winter storage a couple of weeks ago. Great to have it back on the road again.

Please keep your eyes open for my stolen 1973 Burgundyglo Rickenbacker 4001 Serial # MD1582. It was stolen in November of 2006. Reward for its return. Thx!

I just saw the hardtop version, looked cool, with the flying buttress similar to my MR2
