Staff Rides - Mike Levy's Rocky Mountain Element
@mgltraveler: perhaps, however that's not my point. A 'personal' ride shouldn't be one that can be taken back at any time by the brand, as the writer implies - that's called a review bike. The distinction between the two here is not clear.

Staff Rides - Mike Levy's Rocky Mountain Element
Enjoyable read, but does it actually meet the brief?
I would have thought a staff ride was a bike that a PB staffer paid for with his/her own money, after having researched the myriad options on the marketplace. How does 'a bike that I have been supplied, but have not paid for, given the manufacturer can "ask for it back" at any time' qualify as personal property instead of just a long-term review bike?
Before I join others in asking for more articles like this, can 'staff ride' be more clearly defined? I would be more interested to read about a bike that a PB reviewer actually paid for.
