Wow. One bike. That's a tough one. I'm currently at seven: 1) Atlantis - all rounder 2) Miyata 610 - all rounder that I''m not terrified to leave locked up outside the grocery store 3) Mondonico Diamond - classic Italian race bike 4) Klein Adept - full suspension multi gear mountain 5) Civilian Luddite - single speed rigid 29'er (to replace my track bike when we moved to rural Lake County CA) 6) 82 Specialized Stumpjumper - nod to the genesis of mountain biking 7) Dahon Speed TR - folder for traveling/commuting
With all that, I'm still looking for the "one" - my latest fave is the Budnitz No. 1 Titanium with a 14 speed Rohloff.
