My dad had a great Bob Jackson tourer he picked up in the late 70's when he briefly lived in england. It's still sitting in my mum's garage in melbourne. Reynolds 531, white paint with red decals, well worn brooks saddle. It rides like a couch, and has covered most of britain, big parts of france, all of victoria several times over, big parts of new south wales and south australia. Not the coolest bike ever, but reliable as fuck.
My first geared bike was a tiny 10-speed mountain bike, followed by a Malvern Star racer with fluoro yellow paint (very early 90's), then an Apollo Cheetah mountain bike, a second hand peugeot road bike and a giant alu mountain bike which is still at home at mum's. Good times.
