I have a few bikes. Terrible photos of them and random musings will follow. I'll begin with the bike I've ridden the most in the past 12 months:
Fairlight Strael 3.0
I rode this a fair bit (for me) last year, a good chunk of it on Hope wheels I bought it with and 32mm Michelin tyres then upgraded to some Arkane wheels and even bigger 34mm Schwalbe tyres. Yes it has a massive head tube AND a spacer tower, front end feels a bit distant of course but this is all about comfort; I have a bad back and I'm not getting any younger or more flexible. Few changes on the cards:
Swapping to 165mm cranks from 172.5mm
Drop the front end by 10mm
Change of stem: colour-matched Thomson X2
Change of handlebars: Pro Vibe Aero alloy ones for hopefully the comfy flat tops, not the aero gainz
