Since my return to regular cycling a few years ago I seem to get stuck on multiple examples of one brand/one model. I started with my original Coyote HT2 I had from the 90s, I decided I wanted another bike so bought the exact same model one size smaller!
I then dropped on a Marin X frame as my first ever full suspension, after a lot of time deciding what to do with it I went XT M8000 1x11. No sooner was this done I bought another X frame one size smaller, but space dictated the smaller Coyote HT2 had to go.
I recently decided there are two many bikes and not enough space to keep getting hung up on more than one brand/model. So the 15.5" Marin X Frame is donating some parts to my new bike and the remaining parts are to be sold including the frame.
This is all to make space for my just acquired 1999 GT XCR 4000 iDrive. Only problem is the 17" GT feels smaller than the 15.5" Marin. I haven't had time to change the setup yet and it is wet and dark now but hopefully it will all come good tomorrow. I will get some pictures then - but from here on in all my bikes are going to be distinctive from one another...Oh and no more than four at a time ;-).
