Back to the subject of the thread: My current N is five bikes, 1) Riv Road Standard, set up as a 650b tourer, gravel capable 2) Schwinn KOM, set up as a drop bar 26er gravel/anyroad bike, tour capable 3) Giordana, gofast!, 700x26 max 4) Fatboy, off road and winter bike 5) Cannondale 26" hardtail, off road bike.
But I could probably whittle that down to three (Riv, KOM, and Fatboy) - I haven't ridden the Cannondale since I got the fat bike (it's that much fun), so I'll probably sell it soon. - I rode my Giordana about 3 times last year, and although I love its whippy steel ride, it's too limited for the type of riding I prefer. I may never sell it, but I'll never ride it regularly. I've ridden it 3 or 4 times already this year, because I felt guilty to leave such a gorgeous Italian unloved. - I have a lot of overlap between my Riv and KOM (especially since they both have Nitto B135 bars, triple cranks, bar-ends and 9 speed cassettes). But, they both are good commuters and excel at my favorite riding: gravel and trail. The Riv is smooth and composed, where the KOM is more playful. I could have one bike for this mission, but I love being able to choose between two excellent steeds. This realization helps me understand why someone would have multiple, similar bikes, if that type works for their favorite type of riding.
