Absolutely. If you ride a lot, there's a lot wrong with just one bike. What do you do if something breaks and gets tied up for a while waiting parts? Last year on Aug 13 I discovered a cracked MA3 rim on the back wheel of my George Longstaff. I had the LBS build me a replacement with a new Open Pro rim. That wheel was delivered on Sept. 13. A week prior, Aug 5, I discovered a cracked rear rim on the back wheel of my MAP. I sent that wheel off to Velocity for rebuild; it came back on Aug. 24. So for most of August last year, I had two bikes deadlined. Fortunately, I had several other bikes I could ride. And it's more than just having a spare in case a bike is deadlined. My bikes are all different from one another. I like to pick the bike most appropriate to the ride I'm going to do. Of six, only one of my bikes is really suitable for touring with panniers, for example. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
