If I had a frame like that and it was the perfect fit, I'd never sell it. Titanium frame > carbon frame for me.

Here's my n+1, a giant escape N7 aka the tank Its a town bike, so it's built for comfort! Shimano nexus N7 7speed hub gear Schwalbe Marathon plus 26 x 1.75 tyres new bar grips and my charge spoon saddle from the t7 Its like riding on a duvet and the hub gears work really well in town. Pannier rack means hefty beers runs, sorry, shopping, can be achieved with ease. It's heavy but bombproof!

My other steed: A 2009 SE Lager fixed gear. I've changed the wheels, cog, chainset, brake, bars, seatpost and saddle since buying it so it's pretty much just the frame, fork, steam and BB that remain from the original! This is what gets me to work in the wet.

n+1, s-1 rapidly approaching. Got this from the same mate who provided the white Emmelle racer, again from a car boot sale. 1950s James Superlux - 2 speed hub (with neutral!) and rod brakes. As it came - very oily and rusty After a clean, polish and lube. Rod brakes! It's still very rusty, but it rides fine, like being sat in an armchair!

that'll keep you busy, it will look lovely all cleaned up, leave the frame though, looks better for age.

My other bike: Old, heavy, pretty useless mountain bike. Though I suppose I owe it something for getting me into cycling in the first place. It sat in my gran's garage for 10 years, unused. Always planned on selling it but just never got round to it. Had I done that before I started my health kick I might not have started cycling at all. It was good when I was 10, and it was good for the 2-3 months I used it before getting the T3, but I just can't ride it now.

Finally got around to taking a pic of My Other Bike, clearing the garage out on a Bank Holiday Monday (got me out of a lot of other things on the mrs list!) It's a Marin Hawk Hill, 1996 Model bought just before the new model came out for Β£350. Addition of Β£200 Rock Shox about 6 months later. Served me well for years, on lots of good off road rides. Very reliable, never needed any adjustment of gears, nothing major replaced. Popped the stock B'Twin saddle on, it was only stuck in a plastic box in the garage.

Sunday bike project, not really n+1, as it's recycled! A late 80s Peugeot MTB frame I've had for years, removed all the gears, and cantilever brakes, fitted single front brake and Mavic 700c tubular wheels and painted it with grey primer. It needs a blue saddle.
