Quintessentially British to spend multiple times more on a summer bike you ride 2 months of the year and plough on the rest of the time on a blue Ribble with Xenon 9 speed and a rack
So much this. My winter bike is my default bike from September to the end of March, and gets used when it’s wet in spring and summer, so it is the bike I ride the most. I have no qualms at all about spending money on it, I want my riding to be enjoyable.
