I'd managed to convince myself that each of my 14 bikes had it's own niche and each and every one got used to a greater or lesser extent but in reality there was massive overlap, in the road bike side of things in particular.
My desire to race has passed so the more race orientated bikes were largely surplus and whilst in the Alps on a road bike I found myself wishing for something with discs (even though they're dead). I also did a day of DHing with my son and knew that I wanted to do more of that. Lots more of that.
