Just keep it and ride it! My All City is too nice for a commuter but if I'm riding something for 10+ hours a week I want it to be fun. The answer is to keep the Varonha AND get a retro MTB to mix it up a bit.

I'm stictly (self imposed) on a 1 bike policy. I only have storage space for 1 bike, don't ride enough to warrant more than 1 bike.
I need projects to occupy my mind and hands, figured old/vintage mtbs may be slightly more bank account friendly than keeping fucking around with custom built bikes.Winston 1 needs to/should really get powder coated this year, so that would mean stripping it down, posting to Winston/Aurum, that means the ball crushing agony of choosing a colour, and also means being without a bike. If I were to sell it for a decent price then the new owner could pick their colour of choice, saving me the agony/sleepless nights, and colour can be a major factor in whether someone chooses to buy your (ones) frame set.
Anyhow, it's all just the ramblings of an overactive, under utilised mind. -

Glad pink bike is being enjoyed, I quite like a long(ish) ride, but have to say there is much merit in a quick blast around a local route.
The flying ants were a bit of a fucker today, making their presence known on a couple of climbs when I was a bit too preoccupied to swat them away.
Still not sure what to do with Winston 1, if a suitable "vintage" mtb turns up in my size, in decent condition, and at a decent price, then I may sell it, as days out like today are few and far between, the rest of the time it's just a commuter bike, seems it may be better to pass it on to someone who will get some proper use out of a very nicely made frame set.
