If you had to always use the same deck for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Keep in mind the design, handling AND price of the deck in question. You'd have to buy a lot to last a whole life. ;)

If I could afford it, I would have to go with Artifice. A slightly less expensive option would be the blue Crown deck, and if money was a bigger issue, my choice would go to blue Tally-Ho fan-backs.

The reason for my first two options is simple: both have my favorite combination of stock and finish to date.

Funnily enough, I agree with you completely! It would be Artifice (Emerald, if it could only be one colour), or blue fan back Tally-Hos if money was a big problem.
I haven't actually got any Crown decks yet, so I'm not sure what they're like. But I definitely agree with your other two choices.

Great minds think alike! ;)
I did a comparison between my black crowns and my Artifice, and they definitely share the same handling. They both have magic finish/performance coating, and the stock is similar enough that I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same. So if you like the Artifice, you should like the Crowns as well.

Probably White Ghost, they are cheap enough, plentyful enough and handle great too.

It's kind of my "Go to" deck, If I'm placing an order with E or a reseller I'll always add in a few Ghost Decks.

I've given away a lot of Ghost Decks too.

I would use either Bicycle Professional, Bicycle Gold Seal or Tally Ho.  Any one of the three would keep me happy if it was the only deck I used for the rest of my life.  Since the two Bike models are limited editions, I'd probably end up having to go with the Tally Ho.  I'd prefer the circle back if I had to choose one back, and blue if I had to choose one color.

If money wasn't an issue, it'd be t11 Jaqk Cellars, but I'd most likely get Gild Seal bikes due to their price.

If I could have any deck to use till the rest of my life which I don't have to pay for that I would choose Jerry's. Well, obviously.


But if I gotta pay for the deck myself, I'll stick at the rider back bicycle cause there'a a lot of gaffs out there. (My everyday decks are standard bicycle now. I can cut, bend or even destroy it without feeling so guilty.)

Mine would be the Blue Artifice V2 because the design is beautiful and they feel really nice.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

I would probably go with gold seal bikes or some basic bee decks. They aren't an uncommon deck and I wouldn't feel bad ruining a deck
