throwing another option out there sell all and get....an appaloosa? i've had the hunq, chev, and sam. none of them hit the spot for me, so i ordered a custom, but then got intrigued by the appaloosa. so i got an appaloosa for a brief moment and that thing rules. with bosco bars it felt like a quick cruiser, i'm sure with a dirt drop stem and drop bars it would be capable as a road bike. also can fit about 2.2 knobbies and ride some trails.
unfortunately, i was kind of in the same boat as you. studio apartment didn't really afford me space, and saving funds to make some non-bike related purchases to take next steps in my life. once that is over and done with, and i move into a place with more than 300 square feet, i would love to buy an appaloosa again.
