This is the situation:
I have too many bikes, and now that my CX has been stolen, I am being told I need to pare down.
Up until the theft, I had a nice road bike, a winter road bike, a CX, and a mountain bike. Today, however, I used my winter road as my commuter, and I LOVED it. Fast and light, it just made me smile on my commute.
Anyway, it got me thinking:
I could use my current winter bike as my commuter, keep my nice road bike as my nice road bike, and replace the CX with another, with a view to using it for my off-road adventures. I would consider this because, frankly, I only ever use my MTB when I go out with molgrips, and one of my best rides with him was when I was on my old CX anyway. Otherwise, I spend 90% of my time on the road bike.
Although I love a good run of Cwmbran from time to time, something has to give, and it just seems to make sense that it would be my least-done thing.
I feel some regret even saying this, but I also think it’s my most realistic course of action. And besides, I can still so the sort of long off-road adventures with people (molgrips) that I have ever done. Couldn’t I?
Anyway, before I start photographing the 650B+ for eBay, I would genuinely appreciate your thoughts.
