I allow myself two at a time . . . if I want to get a third, then I sell one, so end up with two. Every year to year and a half I sell and acquire a bike. Not out of need or dissatisfaction -- I just like to try new things.

That covers my full range of needs (which isn't all that wide). -- Forrest On Jun 18, 9:25 pm, Dave Craig <dcr...@prescott.edu> wrote: > For the true addict there is always (n + 1) = number of bikes to own. > Where "n" is the number of bikes currently in the garage. > > In my queue as +1 candidates: Bike Friday, Salsa Fargo, SS MTB. > > My current hoard is: > > Rivendell AHH (65cm) - set up as a comfortable road bike with drops. > Rivendell Bombadil (60cm) - with bullmoose bars.
