What bikes do you want to own?

people get too hung up on weight anyway and forget that you can have as much fun on a heavy bike as you can on a light one.
I'd bet that almost everyone on here who owned a mountain bike back in the eighties had so much fun on it despite most of them being fully rigid with pretty crappy gears and heavy rims and tyres.
I have nothing but good memories from riding my first couple of mountain bikes...it was only when things became over complicated and they tried to make riding off road feel as comfortable as riding on it that i started to lose a bit of faith in the bike manufacturers.

Kinda the same with bmx, a lot of stupid lightweight shit that shouldn't be made lightweight on a bmx, some of it is good though, i'm all for progression, my first proper bmx was a DirtMaster Jump that I ended up customising with loads of different parts, that thing weighed over 30lbs and I had a flippin great time on it :)
All that said though, my next bmx was a stripped pegless/brakeless thing around 23lbs (and this was back in 2002 before the advent of silly lightweight stuff in bmx), and I think I had more fun on that as it was almost effortless to throw around.
