Hello Shailesh, welcome to xBhp ............ can we ask for a few pics of your ultimate ride

Actually I dont have any, but a story.

As a kid I started on Hero jet (if any one remember its advertisements) and used two such bicycles by the time I completed my schooling.

Then I got a second hand mountain bike at throw away price(from a US citizen in delhi, brand was some Rand I still don't have much info about it).
I had 18 (6* 3 ) speed shiftings, was light weight, with tires which would offer good grip even on sand.
I rode it a lot.. hell lot (never on mountains though). it remained with me for ~7 years (meanwhile I passed phases like graduation, post graduation ).
But the maintenance became difficult day by day, I tried my best with what ever little knowledge and resources I had during this time.
its everything got replaced gradually with substandard and low cost parts, and I even managed to put mud guards on that.
Then came a time when I had to leave delhi for couple of years (and I didn't visit home in this period), leaving it behind. It got wasted, by the time I came back I couldn't even find its scrap.
(parents threw it away for free to make some space at home) ... I take care of my things but am not that possessive...

I do have plans for a new bike, but no time.

Thanks everyone
