that's a good point. lifestyle matters. I commute/run errands by bike. I mountain bike. I race. I do light-touring/rando-style riding. I live in a place with a real winter (at least this winter has been real). I'll soon be carrying a kid around on a bike. having dedicated bikes for each activity makes a real difference for me. On any given day (weather and trails permitting), I ride 3 different bikes - MTB in the morning, commute to work, and road-ride in the evening. That keeps things pretty fresh and helps me dial-in each of my rides so there is really no overlap. if pressed, i think I could get by with a MTB, a cyclocross bike and a utility-bike/xtra-cycle kind of rig. definitely doable, but I'd have to compromise on the builds and probably spend more time swapping parts/tinkering/etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
