I have a mountain bike, and a road bike. I have now just purchased a great new kinesis CX bike.

How do I convince my wife that I need all 3, when all i actually ride is my mountain bike, and now the CX. I havent been on my road bike for 1 year, but just cant part with it in case I decide I want to ride some road again.

She dosent understand that and wants me to flog my giant tcr!

i currently have 2 mtbs, 2 frames and a road bike. To be honest i don't see the point in owning to many bikes as i doubt i would ever use them enough to justify the space.

1 mtb, 1 bmx. Bmx is getting sold soon. Hoping to replace it with a roadie as I'd probably get more use out of that.

3.
{edit} but only 2 of them work.

I have a strict one in one out policy that is about to be breached for the first time ever as I am in the process of building a pub/shopping/cruisin ratbike..

LOVING the world!

1. i would have another, and another, and another and another. but i cant afford that.

2 road bikes, 2 HT mountain bikes, 1 HT singlespeed, 1 140mm FS Bike, 1 100mm FS XC bike, 1 HT mtb fitted with slicks for comuting on.

lots of choice and another couple on the way 😮

2. a full sus 100mm and a hardtail 100mm. full sus built up cheap, as a winter bike. hardtails the summer bike.

HT MTB, 170mm full sus, road bike, track bike, bmx, jump bike,2 cyclocross bikes and various spare/ raceday wheels etc.

My want list is about 5 times longer!
