thought this would be the best thread to ask in but point me elsewhere if there's a better one
i've recently consolidated my bikes (i.e. sold some) based on the kind of riding i do these days. less long road riding, more short competition like TT and cross. i've ended up with:
Dolan pre cursa fixed TT bike
Look 595 shit off a shovel (if i was actually fast) road bike
Trek Crockett cross bike (not yet completely built, see below)
Pompino (currently frame only)
Specialized hardrock 1x7 runaround
but because cross looks to be off this year (more or less), i wanted to get back out with my club on saturdays. would you:
a) just ride the Look through the winter even though it's a 'nice' (and expensive) summer bike with no guards
b) build the Crockett temporarily as a road bike (again, no room for guards)
c) build the Pompino into a road fixed (or gear it, hmmmmm) and turn up to a club run as a virtual stranger on a bit of a curiosity
no wrong answers. don't tell me what i should do, what would YOU do? i do not have room for a new bike.
