After my bike stable grew to a state where there were too many bikes that went entirely unridden, I've been on a mission to pare down to the least number of bikes to satisfy a majority of my cycling interests and not feel like too many of my bikes are serving a "I need stuff" need. I'm currently at:
1. Rivendell Rosco Bubbe v2 - semi-upright cruiser - which I've nearly stopped riding and should be voted out of the stable 2. All City Space Horse Disc - all arounder, replaced Sam Hillborne in the interest of similar Sam capabilities with disc brakes 3. Surly Troll - rougher stuff riding/touring when underbiking the Space Horse is less desirable 4. Bike Friday Family Tandem - for enjoying cycling with my kids (The stable did include Sam, AHH, and Romulus at one point in time) I would immediately replace #2 and #3 with a Riv if a verboten feature were made an option on Sam, Appa, Atlantis, or Hunq. The possible gap in my bike collection otherwise could possibly be a go-fast type of steed, replacing the cruiser slot, though I've had a few bikes that have fit this mold over the years and found them to get only a small percentage of riding time. That said, I should probably consider a Roadini - that's the most likely Riv addition if nothing else changes in their lineup. -Jeff Silver Spring, MD On Sat, Feb 3, 2018 at 3:21 AM, drew <drewbeckme...@gmail.com> wrote: > It’s late and I’ve been inspired by lum gim fongs Willy nilly topic > creation.
