N+1, at what point does it become ridiculous? – Page 3 – Bike Forum

Just pulled my strive apart after 8 weeks hammering it in the Alps it needs a total refurb. Frame going to be away for a couple of weeks getting bearings done, have had a hankering for ages for a burly steel hard tail for winter. Finger is itching over a black grape BFE, it's only £320 but by the time I've put a headset in it and converted the rear hub to fit that's going to be £400. But it would be so lovely! Everything else from the strive will bolt straight on. There's a road bike and a 29 hard tail in the garage along with countless other frames and spares already, I know the BFE is going to be too short, it'll probably get a handful of rides before I have to get shot. I'm pretty sure I spend more time tinkering with bikes than riding them. At what point does n+1 become too much?

A road bike, [s]a hardtail[/s] and a full suspension would do it all for me. Don't need all that other niche crap that I'd never actually ride.

n - 1 for me...
