I know that people will be offended with the title and screaming bad things from their computers, but, I’ll explain my question.
Firstly, my ‘commute’ as such, is a 20 minute ride to work, and a 25 minute ride home. I’m very fortunate where I live!
I currently choose to have 1 bike, due to many things, but mainly space and money.
Now my main bike, I always like to put a lot of money into it as it’s the only one I have. For the last couple of years I’ve commuted on my Alpine 160, full saint groupset. Exactly same spec as I ride it when going off road.
Now I’ve just purchased a new Tracer 2, and it’s going to have the same life, but I’m thinking of heading down the XTR route, weight saving, fashion etc and wondering if it’s a financially stupid idea? I don’t wish to go XT as I’d rather just stay with Saint in that respect.
Stupid idea?
