If space is more important than money, strip the Hunq down to the frame and tuck it into the corner (or hang it in the closet, or on a wall) for later when you've got more time, space, and mental energy) and then look at the other 3 bicycles for weeding down to one.
The 650b do-it-all is not a completely ridiculous idea. A comfy frame with room for 2" tires -- as long as it doesn't have an insanely low bottom bracket -- will also let you put narrow tires onto the thing and play discount roadie. (A machine with 650x25b tires is visually indistinguishable from a 700x25c machine until you either get up close or have it alongside the 700c machine.) If you used tandem-style quick-disconnects for your brake cables (and shifter cables if you're using bar-end shiftters) you could even have a mustache (or flat) bar, a set of cruiser bars, or even drop bars that you could flip in and out with almost as little effort as it would take to pop one wheelset and put in another. -david parsons On Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at 10:45:25 AM UTC-7, drew wrote: > > All good advice.
