I have/had two bikes that I was considering amalgamating:
I started to use the former more for commuting and the latter just for wet weather commuting. Rarely ride cross or gravel, as much as I like the latter.
I was thinking of a good disc road bike that I also used for commuting, as security is fine at work.
Then on Saturday, I got a call from the bike shop I'd taken the cross bike to, to say that it didn't just need a rear brake service, but instead new rotors, chain, cassette and chainring.
Later on Saturday, I wrote off my road bike in a freak wheelie-suitcase related incident that has cracked the seatstay.
I don't really have any money for an upgrade that doesn't come from selling what I've got.
What would you do?
