I look at it like this:
A. When you have nowhere to store them.
B. When they don't get ridden at all.
C. When you have more than one type that does the same job.
D. When you have no love for it.
I did get up to 24/5 built. Trimmed then down to 15 all rideable.
Yet I still have doubles so should trim more, don't really ride much either.
1 retro rigid original.
1 retro rigid.
2 retro hardtails.
1 single speed hardtail.
1 jump/dirt.
1 hybrid.
1 hybrid hardtail.
1 flat bar road.
1 road race.
2 full suss.
1 hardtail.
1 hardtail race.
1 urban rigid hybrid.
But, I have a big garage, so A is OK.
Quite fancy a 29er of some sort.
CX bike would be nice.
How about a fixie, hmmm.
Then again I do admire the folks that have 1 bike and it's covered many thousands of miles and they love it loads.
So it'd be nice to sell them all and buy 1 perfect machine, does it exist, what type................ Ti CX bike with hydro discs and clearance for fat tyres. Jack of all trades, master of none?
