[#1714667]

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 => 7" full suss, 5" hardtail, road bike
all get used enough to warrant them
.
would like a 4" full suss XC bike and a full-on DH bike but they wouldn't get used much
