Hmmm, too many bikes here.
Soul 26″ (120mm 3×9)
Scandal 29″ (100mm 2×10)
iO 26″ rigid ss
Retro rigid Marin 26″
The Marin is up for sale, impulse purchase I now realise I’ll never ride and don’t have room for.
The iO is being repainted and will stay in the shed as it’s a parts bin special, owes me very little and will be good for winter and ripping around the farm etc.
One of the other two ought to go really, I was hankering after a full sus, but knocked that idea on the head. Realistically I should split both and build a nice Solaris up I think, but I love the soul, and it has much better wheels than the Scandal. The scandal has also slightly put me off 29ers for techy stuff. Decisions, decisions……
But I want to end up with 1 main mountain bike for all purposes, the rigid ss hack for leaving outside and abusing, then at some point a cx bike. Leaving me, in my eyes 2.5 bikes, to cover all bases.
