What is the best new bike you've ever bought New?

The one that I have not bought yet.

I bought a Nishiki Manitoba Mountain bike brand new in 96. Still have it, still ride it!

as much as I'd like to say the latest and greatest bike I own is my '09 Kestrel Evoke (nicer and lighter than my '11 BMC SR-01), I'm gonna say the best bike I ever bought new is my '90 Bridgestone RB-1. It has performed flawlessly for 10s of thousands of miles, won some races, and now on it's third groupo (still original brakes though) is still as good a training bike as the two previously mentioned.

That's a LOT of cable lock to carry around!

Larry, that's funny!! :lol: :lol:

I loved my Nishiki Colorado. I still have my 1978 Raleigh Record Mom and Dad bought me new when I was in 7th grade and I really love it. But the best bike I ever bought is this:

I've never had a bike fit me so well.

Oh, and Skip, I've yet to see your Raleigh Record.

We've bought a few new bikes my wife and I, she even picked out a couple for me. I guess I still like the Electra Delivery. I like the smooth ride, lines, components, size, color and overall design. It is just a neat rather unique production bike.

My wife picked out this Gary Fisher 3 speed, it sees use as errand, newspaper and coffee bike.

Recently I'd have to say the Felt MP for my son. That's a smooth bike. Heavy as a Sherman tank, but smooth.

The best bike I remember is a Cannondale M2000 I bought from the bike shop I was working for. That puppy was sweet for the time. Looked exactly like this (without the neon pink clip straps.

I have almost the same bike! mine has white lettering though. Just a bit too tall of a frame for me though. Will be putting it up for sale soon.

It used to be my Fuji Team, bought it new in 1982, rode my first century on it. Now it's my 2012 Cervelo RS, hope to ride my next century with this one. Maybe in another 30 years I'll buy anothe rnew bike that I love. :lol:

You've seen my Raleigh. It hangs above the other 15 bikes in my garage.

Glad to see someone else listed a Raleigh! I had a couple 50s era Hercules 3 speeds I picked up used when I was a kid that I acquired myself and went absolutely nuts over but my heart still belongs to my 1970 Raleigh Super Course I bought new - definitely the finest bike I ever owned! Robert
