Funny old things, bikes. My taste in them has somewhat changed over the years but i feel like i've finally got to a point where i know what i like, and why i like it. And then i buy something I wasn't expecting to buy, and it all starts again.
As of today i have 4 bikes to my name, sort of. For a bike mechanic & shop owner i feel this is a low number, but i may be wrong. It's certainly the fewest i've had on the go for sometime though.
I like city riding, audaxing, commuting (when i can be arsed), triathlon (pre-covid of course) and some light touring. My current bikes do somewhat cater for these but not totally. I have an audax friendly Genesis equilibrium, a commuter friendly Genesis flyer, a no-name fixed gear titanium frame, and a box of steel tubes that i'm currently teaching myself to glue together to make something else.
I'm constantly tinkering with these bikes so i think a projects thread is in order.
