Let's see -
Assembled:
2009 Scott Scale XT
2001 Radon Viper Ultegra
1990s Hooger Osprey (skinny tyres, used as road bike)
1990s Hooger Falcon (fat tyres, used as a MTB)
1990s Hooger Harrier (medium tyres, used as a gravel bike)
In parts, but complete:
2020 Surly Troll Alfine (this will become my main ride eventually)
1990s Hooger Osprey LX
1990 Bianchi Caurus
1987 Diamant Rennsport IFA
...and a disposable S/S sled for bashing around town.
There's also an R32 GTS25 Skyline under this pile somewhere. Keeping that for the kids later on.
None of these were particularly expensive. The Caurus was the only bike I ever bought new as a complete build.
The Hooger Boogers came in 2 cheap packages ($40 - $60 apiece) and are such a perfect fit and ride so beautifully that I've kept all of them. They did need some TLC though and were pretty hideous to begin with, but their steel frames are gems (so's the brand name!!).
Back on topic - I do have a similar approach to telescopes, EPs and other stuff, very few I've actually bought new. Just no need with such a great classifieds right here
