No, haven't been able to do that. And not sure I'd want to. For a few simple reasons. First off, the weather here in Minnesota isn't consistently nice. So having a bike I don't really care that much about for bad weather riding (aka winter) is a good luxury. Then there's travel. Nice to have a bike that can go on trips. Especially if flight is involved. Not common for me at least. But have a Brompton ready "just in case."
Lastly, there are times when I want a different ride. Not just the feel of a different bike, but a different setup. Say from drops to Albatross bars. It's easier to just grab a different bike than to switch out bars/stem, etc. Just personally unable to get down to one bicycle. Of course, am the same way about guitars. Can't seem to get down to that one "perfect" guit-box. So maybe that says more about me than about the bikes and/or guitars?
