The statutory minimum for bikes owned is three. Or four. Like this: Gofast. Fixed gear if different from gofast. Commuter/errand bike as close in build to gofast as possible. Off road bike.
Oh, and it is also good to have a British racing tricycle. Seriously, I have a bad case of "get rid of it because not using it bothers me". And have I paid through the nose for that as after a while I find that I really do want X again. Sell cheap and buy dear. My counsel would be to wait at least 12 months before deciding to sell something that is not obviously of no use to your riding needs. That said, my tastes, at 58, have gradually rotated around the compass of desire to point at either fixed gear or all rounder-type riding (or both), so no need for me to have a dedicated gofast derailleur bike. Now I am sweating whether the Ram-to-be needs rack braze ons (disc mounts???!!!) But it will have 32 -35 mm tires and a large bag if not racks. On Sun, Mar 24, 2013 at 7:29 PM, Yahoo!
