I agree with Steve about the aesthetics part, but disagree largely about
the rotational inertia part, ie that wheel diameters and circumferential
weights make huge differences in handling. First, handling differences can
in part be adjusted for by frame design. Second, these differences are not

I love how the 60cm frame can wear 42mm tires and n
Whoops, just saw that the Bombadil is too big. Sorry. Well, in that case,
I'd get rid of it. Even the best bike is no good if it doesn't fit. But I'd
try to trade it for a smaller one.

I'd reduce by reducing overlap. I'd want a road bike, an off road bike
capable of touring, and perhaps a bike that is fun to ride but that I could
lock up and lose without much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I'd certainly keep the Bombadil and I'd be tempted to keep the Romulus

I'm adding a catchphrase. From now on, the opposite of the lamentable action
of "thinning the herd", will heretofore be called (by me at least) "thicking
the herd".

1. Sell the bombadil. As noted, it's too big for you, to be used as intended.
2. Don't buy the joe. It's too small for you.
3. Buy one of the new 56cm hunqapillars, and have it painted silver for the
extra $100. It is exactly the right size for you, chainstays have crept up in

Well Eric, it looks like you're already diligently thinning the herd with
the rivendell road sale. Beautiful bike by the way. The Romulus is my
budget version of your road, but I imagine if there is a lot of interest in
the upcoming roadini as Rivendell indicated recently in the rbw newsletter
I'm taking this whole thread about getting rid of bikes and deleting it before
my wife sees it.

Sky,
I'll get things started. If I were you, I'd sell the Bombadil as a complete
package to fund the Appaloosa. I'd then move the Romulus' components to the
Appaloosa and keep the Romulus frameset to see how much you miss riding it. If
you really want to use it as a beater, buy some used part
Hey All,
I have a bunch of bikes, with a fair bit of overlap, and yet I find myself
lusting after n+1. At the same time, I don't have a lot of cash to throw
toward a new bike and love the idea of reducing the number of bikes I have.
So I'm kind of inclined to sell off one or two to make more p
