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. My MTB and off road explorer. Rivendell Quickbeam (64cm) - drop bars, fenders, racks and a front basket. My favorite commuter Surly 62cm, 26-inch wheel tourer. Drop bars, fully racked and fendered. My favorite tourer ever (including Atlantis and Bombadil). Surly Big Dummy bar ends and riser bars (2x8 gearing) - My "SUV" commuter, grocery getter, rain bike and semi truck (with a burly trailer) Soma Smoothie ES - (64cm). Light wheels, skinny tires - go fast Surly Crosscheck (62cm) - Frankenbike loaner. Yup . . . that's seven. Dave On Jun 18, 6:57 pm, EricP <[email protected]> wrote: > Three. Rivendell Sam Hillborne.
