We've all regretting selling a specific bike. Be it from how it rode to how it looked, or even the memories we made while riding it. We want to know which bike you've owned that you wish you'd have never sold.
Personally, I miss my DW-Link Turner DHR that I sold maybe 4-years ago. Fully custom build and it rode so damn well. The geo was spot on for how I ride and the aesthetic of the bike, to me at least, was damn fine. Aside from my 2007/8 DHR, this was one of the longest periods I owned the same bike, and every bike since I've only held onto for a year or two. I ended up selling it for an Evil Undead which I only kept for a single season.
So, what's your "the one that got away?"

So sad when I sold it.... Much tears on my eyes ....
Without question, the DHR. I bought a new carbon bike with all the new standards just to catch up, but I don't think it's any faster.
If there was a carbon 650b DHR, I'd buy it in a second.
Deity cranks, Iscg mounted bash with no guide, Saint brakes, totem air and vivid air. Paul chain tensioner kept it quite. Pretty sick bike looking back at 2010 compared to what we have now, haha
The gamburgalur was a ninja and rode better than any other DH bike I've ever ridden when it was chainless...
If it was a large, I would still be riding this thing today.... damn I miss that bike
she was a real beaut
Would buy it back in a heartbeat
My 2012 fluro m9
I had lot of bikes but definitely i miss so much this 2006 Kona Howler custom build ;(
my Intense Carbine 650b
Otherwise, I'm quite a keeper of old bikes, but the Spank Smoke hardtail was definitely nice and I am still hunting for a 1998 gloss red Marin Palisaded Trail, my first ”real” MTB.

I deeply, deeply regret snapping My Prophet MX though. That thing was just right, exactly right on all the angles.
my old 500 that i sold lik 3 month's ago
was one of the first built,with basicly all the parts from my previous 450 and i loved how it rode
but then when i stoped racing DH and riding and racing my enduro bike i found my self only riding it when my enduro bike was with something broken, basicly rode ir like 9 times last year( in Portugal you can ride all year)
and basicly even knowing that i was going t regret it made the conscient decision to sell it and loose the least money with it so that i have money to switch bike when i want to
My wilson.
So much sacrifices (hard to have in my country at the time ), every little pieces were chose precisly and So amazing to ride.
I speak about it So often even years after ^^.
I don't remember selling any bike that I regretted, but I did have my 1981 Diamond Back BMX bike stolen.
I also had a really cool Jamis Dakar from about 1988 that got stolen. F'n thieves.
I hucked it in the Alps, raced downhill on it, and took it for 30km 'xc' rides , and it never skipped a beat. And the parts on it were all damn rad too.
Luckily ive saved hard and now have a process 153 that's super fun, but that slash was a damn great bike
