Currently trying out running 3 bikes which will be max constraint when I move into a flat with stairs. My riding is mainly road at the moment and a weekly (ish) gravel ride plus daily (ish) commuting/town.
Genesis - not liking the big bars but enjoying the bike. Narrower non flared bars, maybe a front rack, longer mudguards and this will be even more sorted for winter/commuting/touring/town. Get quite paranoid locking this up for more than an hour.
Stanton - all fine. Not doing much mtbing but it goes on the gravel rides. Genesis could do them but weighed down with the racks and it is a bit rattly.
Rourke, fits okay, relatively cheap way to road bike. Managed to break the left hand shifter (if anyone has a 2x shimano sti shifter for sale please let me know).
Don't really need to do anything other than tweak the genesis and replace the Rourke's shifter. Having said that..
1) have almost daily debates if I can get everything into 1 bike (Singular Peregrine or something) that can have racks on and off as & when.
2) bike to work purchase of the Fairlight Strael 3.0 or equivalent modern steel disc road bike is getting increasingly tempting
