What's your "go-to" bike?

[Karate Chicken Industries]

I ride a modified 26" Chicago electro-forged frame with the original 27" wheel size. The only original parts are the frame, fork, and kickstand. Everything else is not Schwinn anymore but even more enjoyable in my book. Absolutely my favorite bike. I have lighter, faster big frames at home but I still ride this bike a lot.

I still like the lighter/faster bikes more, but for town purposes really like the electro-forged Schwinns. Modded out to fit a rider's needs, they are largely unbeatable IMO.

I try to ride all my bikes, but this is my "go to" bike...

My everyday rider. From Giant of course, I Need Street. It's a nice riding seven speed city bike. All original except the saddle. (I asked Santa for a matching Brooks toolbag.) It was a beautiful day on our Greenway Trails the other weekend.

And of course we had to counteract all the exercise with a nice post ride snack at our neighborhood wine bar.

Good question. I have many bikes for varied uses, a cycletruck when I need one, a vintage or two when the occasion calls for it, a couple of freak bikes of different types, but my go-to is The Glider. Nice amount of stretch, three speed Nexus, comfortable for several miles around town.

This is my go to bike at every chance. Comfortable cruiser, but fun and agile to be childish on also. The bike that got me back into this great hobby.

Thanks. I really like the colors too. One day when the mechanical parts wear out the frame will make a great RatRod project...

I too have lots of bikes for different purposes, but for cruising I find my Worksman M2600 (tall version of the Newsboy) to be the most comfortable.

I have 4 bikes and they all are good,
MTB w/slicks for the hilly, paved 21 mile bike trail at KKK state park.
26" BMX with flat bars for around the neighborhood .
'74 huffy cruiser for the nostalgic rides.
20" BMX for playing in the alley, behind the house. Can't pick just 1.
I have given alot of thought about if I could only have 1. Today I am no closer to an answer to that question.

It has gotten to the point that I need a roulette wheel to pick which one I want to get on…….

 

[Pedalpat]

Priority 600.


Pinion gear belt drive it's glorious.

2018 Aggressor pro, I ride it 40-60 miles per week, I’ve upgraded as things broke/wore out, the wheels have been surprisingly sturdy, they are all that’s left of the OEM parts.
Its nothing fancy but it’s tight and right and runs like a gazelle.

I don't care to label this bike any type of champion of one thing. 1992 Murray Sabre with 4 piece bars, bmx stem, and hookworms. Great to cruise on, upgraded stamped steel canti brakes to a full new v-brake system and that hauls her down. The seat was donated by a stumpjumper and i added the aluminum post too. Upgraded the nutted rear axle to skewer maybe just because the axle is hardened now and less likely to bend like nutted does. I don't know what the limits of safety are for this bike, still haven't called this build done.

Nice splatters on the Murray! Looks like a sweet ride

Lately I ride the Bridgestone RB-2 I fixed up a few months ago the most. It's turned out to be quite enjoyable, even more so than the RB-1. I think I'm enjoying the retro downtube shifters the most.

 

[cruisinandrollin]

Old shifters work fine if there are no condition issues, I run the old thumb shifters with indexing and see nothing wrong with this old tech.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I've been piling up old Shimano thumb shifters. I really like the Deerhead ones, the little clicks are so satisfying. They'll work with any drivetrain I build so I grab what I can.

 

[cruisinandrollin]

#1 part I throw away is grip shifters, they are junk mostly.

1982 Shogun, this bike is light, smooth and easy to keep a swift pace at 14 mile per hour painlessly.
This is my go bike !
