His bikes definitely do work as 27.5+ bikes! Go with some WTB Scrapers and the
new Bontrager 27.5+ tire and you'll be set!

Patrick,
Nice slant on an old topic. And I like the Zen aspect.
I get what Garth is saying, and well the truth is the truth if your willing to
accept it. We all have our own time frame. And all these material things are
transitory, we can't take them with us where we're going. Another way to
Nah man, an Atlantic with 2.25 tires is not fat enough! You need to try the
tubeless joy of 29+! It's fat but fast, for serious.

Mike,
Apparently Jeff Jones is claiming his 29ers will fit 650b's. I need to
revisit his site to see if it was 27+ which would be my preference. May
just have a custom built by a frame builder in Portland or just go with a
Pug Op's or Mukluk 3. Yeah I'll be going fatter in the future.

I find that maintaining and out fitting more than 3 or 4 bikes is my
limiting factor. I hate switching pumps,water bottle and saddle bags
between bikes, because I always forget something. I hate that feeling when
I am half way through a ride and notice I forgot to switch over the frame
pump.
I always have pump and kit for each bike, and when selling bikes off I end
up with a bunch of pumps stashed in a storage box and a lot of extra tubes
and tubes of glue.
Anyone want to trade a #4 Zefal HpX for a similarly sized Impero?

agree, every bike gets its own roadside kit that includes everything you
need to get home

I learned early on in owning two bike that if I'm swapping gear I'm missing

I am at a point in my life where I feel the attraction of N-1. With seven
bikes in the stable, it is time to downsize. The first to go is a 1995
AllRounder that is being prepared for sale. I bought it small at 58cm for
possible mountain bike type riding. Now I ride 62cm bikes. Its time for
I have 3 bikes in riding mode at the moment (and a few projects hanging in
the garage). The riders... 3D trail bike with a bunch of XTR/RaceFace/Chris
King hanging off of it. I took the knobbies off, it's running slicks. I use
it for hauling a BOB Yak trailer around. A 1970's Motobecane
Currently at 3, not counting the Gitane the daughter absconded with.
Utility, but fun to just ride - Rivendell Bleriot
The Rando Bike - custom Sweetpea
Go-fast bike - 2003 Lemond Zurich
These days, the Sweetpea gets 98% of the love, the Riv 1.9%, and the Lemond
.01%.
The Riv gets more riding
Nice topic, Patrick. Very zen mindfulness. Simplicity and not wanting for
N+1 is nice. I've been living the Hillborne life that Riv has been
recently pushing on the Blug (
http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/115426377099/sam). I swap between 36h Mavic
A719's during the week and 32h Synergies on
Back to the subject of the thread:
My current N is five bikes,
1) Riv Road Standard, set up as a 650b tourer, gravel capable
2) Schwinn KOM, set up as a drop bar 26er gravel/anyroad bike, tour capable
3) Giordana, gofast!, 700x26 max
4) Fatboy, off road and winter bike
5) Cannondale 26 hardtail,
I have some really beautiful, special bikes, but like Lynne, I mostly just
ride one or two of them. Leaning toward Quickbeams and my Salsa right now.
The one languishing the most is my beautiful Riv Joe Stark road. Just a
great go-fast bike, but I'm not a go-fast person. So it's just collecting
