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.

Rigid SS MTB for 'no fuss' all winter riding.
HT SS MTB for slightly more comfortable all year riding.
HT geared MTB for Enduros.
HT geared MTB for XC racing.
Fixed road bike for winter training.
Fixed track bike for, erm.. track.
Geared road bike for winter training.
Geared road bike permanently attached to turbo.
Geared road bike for summer and TT.

Obviously I'm missing a lightweight FS MTB and a dedicated TT bike. And probably a 'proper' lightweight bike for road racing.

EDIT: And a CX bike. I reckon I need one of those too.

4

1. Boardman HT (own build)

2. Giant TranceX (much bodged)

These two bikes have a enough overlap to ride one when the other is broken, though the TranceX feels distinctly beefier now. But generally the HT is for winter use as the FS is a beetch to clean. Although I currently find myself sneaking off with the HT quite a lot because it's fun. It feels like how I imagine having an affair feels.

3. Commuter (old steel MTB converted for road-use)

4. Folder (cheap, nasty and surprisingly useful)
