Fellas -- thanks for the feedback. I should've included a few more tidbits:
a. Space is much more of a consideration than money, though money may become a consideration in the next year as my career situation evolves. b. I generally live car-free, though I will sometimes ride as a passenger in my partner's automobile and actually help spell her on long drives (i.e., outta state, which happenes once or twice a year). In the city I don't drive a car. Ever. c. In the last dozen years, I've gone from being a transportational cyclist to being a tourist, a randonneuse and a racer, and now I feel myself heading back into utilitarian cycling again and loving it. The thought of "training" holds little appeal; The idea of signing up for a ride to beat the clock holds even less; and paying to ride or race my bike makes less and less sense as I evolve as a cyclist. The things I continue to relish are my commutes, my cargo-hauling errands, and my leisurely weekend jaunts, all done by bicycle. d. How many bikes I own -- and all the seemingly-requisite gear that goes with them -- feels far less important to me now. (No matter how many bikes I own, I still have only one butt.) As space and money are increasingly important considerations, it becomes clearer to me that a serious winnowing-down is probably in order. And because I rely on bikes for transportation, it makes such excellent sense for me to have a smaller stable which all utilize the same wheel size. Fewer bikes, fewer spare parts, more space. So yeah, I will probably think about selling the two bikes I ride the least, sometime in the next year or less.
