It's funny, if I go out on my Hilsen I always end up thinking "This is really the only bike I need." But then I'll go for a ride on my Rambouillet and think "I sure am glad I have this bike too." as it feels just a little more lively. I also have my Surly CC which I commute on daily. The Surly has gone through so many changes since I bought it. I guess if I had room for all the bikes I want I'd probably wind up with a mixture of Rivendells and Surly.
I don't own a car, never have. Public transportation here in Portland sometimes feels like a rolling MH/homeless drop-in center so I prefer to walk or pedal everywhere I go. I commute by bike everyday regardless of the weather. Funny that I do the least amount of maintenance on my CC and it continues to roll smooth. If I had a good secure space to store it I'd get a Big Dummy in a second but it's hard enough taking my regular bikes down into the basement for storage. I could definitely put a BD to good use. I regularly consider selling the CC frame and getting a LHT or SH to replace it. Right now I'm making some changes to the Rambouillet to see if I want to use it as my rando bike next year. It'll depend on how it handles with a HB bag. If it's the same as the Hilsen I'll probably use it. Every once in a while I'll be at River City Bicycles checking out their bikes and get a twinge of lust for a Seven road bike or something fancy. The twinge usually passes as soon as I leave the store. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
