You know how it is.
You've got a bike you've set up to be perfect (I'm talking about my dangermouse here).
Its got racks and saddlebags coming for it, and it rides like a dream on amazing wheels, and is super comfy.
HOWEVER, there is the distinct possibility that something very similar is coming very soon, AND you already have the most ridiculous knockabout bike that you could own.
AND of course you have to imagine being one of those people who like riding bikes, using them till they break, instead of having enough to fill a small room.
Do you:
a) get rid of the current bike when the new bike comes, despite the fact you may have only just gotten it to be as you like it, as its superfluous having two identical bikes
b) keep all the bikes even though it goes against all principles
c) sell all but the new one, and your geared bike, because they'll more than cover your needs
d) convert the current bike into what it was meant to be, a track bike and leave it at HH?
or e) [enter own response here]
