I ride a 1986 Miyata six-ten with about 5,000 miles on it. Anybody else care to share the old bike that they still ride on a regular basis?

There's a brazed 80's-something roadie that's been sprayed repeatedly hanging in my closet...but doesn't get ridden. Need to build it.

I use to race (and do well in) the weekly time trials in Santa Cruz on a pink '91 Diamondback.

1970's Bottechia POS road frame with 700c wheels and a coaster hub that serves as my commuter.

Guess I don't have anything that old (70s or 80s) but the bike I ride to classes and the grocery store and stuff is a 1997 Trek hybrid, which is the oldest bike I have. My main mountain ride is a 2001 Kona Muni Mula frame with pretty modern components (9 speed XT). Ride that a few times a week usually. It's pretty old for a regularly used mountain bike.

Let's talk miles-
I've had my Ritchey Road Logic since '95. From '95 until '99 it was my only road bike.
From '99 until '03 it was the bike i rode every winter after I sold my team bikes, about 40% of the year basically
From '04 until '07 it was my primary road bike. I built it back up again this past summer.

It easily has a 100,000 miles on it.

It still has the original King headset.

I have what I think is a 1985 trek steel road bike. It was my first road bike and now it's my fixie. Miles? No idea, but lots.

My current road bike is an 11-year old Steelman.

I go through mtb's quickly but tend to hang on to my road bikes.

I had a Miyata 310, nice riding bike. My roadie is a 2007 Jamis Eclipse...I doubt I have double the miles on it though. :\
