Hi, all! @Eric Platt....
Surely everyone has their own expectations / desires out of a bike. So, in my ignorance of The World of Cycling, it certainly makes sense to me that no one bike or style of bike is going to fulfill everyone's riding dreams. I'm really enjoying my Hillborne. Surely it does not limit me. But I also know that, even though I'm a fuddy-duddy and am happy to follow for years patterns that many people consider ruts, *someday* (next year? 2025? after our ant overlords have established their reign?) I might get tired of riding my Hillborne bolt upright around in my flat little realm carrying 20+ lbs of gear at 15mph in the suburbs west of Chicago. At that point, I'd love to find something different in the world of cycling that I can enjoy. I think cycling itself is cool; not just riding my Hillborne. So I'd love to know more specifics about how it is that your Hillborne limits you. The things you find your Hillborne limits you in doing may be things I could investigate as different ways to enjoy cycling on that fateful day. And, as a more practical matter, I'm toying with the idea of getting another bike sometime in the next year or so. It's a major purchase, so I want to consider it carefully. Given that I keep the Hillborne, what kind of bike would complement it, would do what it can't do or does poorly? Having perspectives on what it is the Hillborne does poorly or even just not-so-well would help.
