In chronological order:
Early 60s Claud Butler five-speed road bike inherited from my dad (all the original bits too). Crashed horribly and wrecked the wheels and cranks. Now very rusty and resident in my dad's shed awaiting rebuilding.
Crap Carrera MTB (nicked)
Long bikeless gap.
Dahon Helios SL - Still have it, but it really needs a new rear wheel as the delicate Rolf is on its way out.
Flanders aluminium road bike with mixed Campag kit - eBay bargain, basically brand new from an MTB rider who'd bought it as a trainer but never really used it. Horribly over-stiff, so frame disposed of and all the kit put on new frame.
Orbit Photon steel audax frame bought for peanuts when Orbit went bust - built up with bits from the Flanders. Fairly quickly got lovely, lovely Campag Proton wheels: http://velospace.org/node/4236
Dave Yates course. Built a relaxed road bike in fillet-brazed 631 (audaxy geometry but without mudguard braze-ons and all that stuff): http://velospace.org/node/11956
Fuji Track (nicked). Fantastic thing for the money, I thought. All the money's in the frame where it should be.
Fuji Track #2 on way from Biddle providing they haven't vanished.
