Completly overbiked. Infact all 5 of them are more bike than I can justify.
But then, hell, why not??
If I where to buy a bike that was worthy of my skillz then I'd been down at TESCO..

My Demo 8 is overkill for my local woods, but if I cycle the four miles there and back I think I have earned that right. Standing all the way as seat post is far too short to sit and pedal.
Given the choice I prefer to be overbiked.

Yep, ride what ya brung. Personally, anything less than my Nicolai Overbike™ would be a disappointment. It's portable potential.

I ride the same stuff at roughtly the same speed on both my Turner 6 Pack and my Pace 305. So, maybe. Now ask me if I care!

I started riding when 1 bike was used for everything, my small zaskar frame with big forks always worked well. As long as you are having fun on whatever bike you have who cares? If your bike choice lessens the enjoyment of a ride it's time to add to the collection

Hahahaha nice xc bike. My road bike can go faster than an I can make it go so is that being overbiked too?
I totally agree with Jedi, plus: Being overbiked is having fun, being underbiked is crashing

The only reason I have an expensive bike with big forks and brakes is so I can look down on the mincing gayboys on their fagcycles.

Crashing is also fun if you can manage it properly. It's good to feel right on the edge of the bike's capabilities as often as possible.
Definitely over-biked at the moment, but sometimes you need something to slow you down on the hills. I have found that for a lot of what I ride a lighter, less bouncy bike is just as quick though, I just need to own one....

I do agree with that too, but too much crashing begins to get tiresome, not to mention painful.
