The problem is, there is always justification for another bicycle, like the 
relatively new bikepacking designs (Jones Bikes for example) which also do 
a very good job of displacing conventional touring bikes. Or a foldable 
Brompton, just because. Then there is sentimentality, like my beloved 
Marinoni which  has taken and continues to take me on so many  touring 
adventures, but which I would not be shopping for if looking today as I 
want ever more tire clearance from a frame. Then there is the poor, abused 
commuter which gets ridden so much and so often, it becomes an old friend 
and thus impossible to give up. Then there is the lightweight randonneur 
and the back up randonneur. The back rando doesn't seem to ever get ridden, 
but what if something happened to the primary rando?  N+1 is real. N-1 is 
pure fantasy.

Willet: Ecuador has some made taxes on imports of most products, but Pasto 
in Colombia is only 50 miles from the Ecuador border. You could very 
gradually bring your bikes in one at a time!
