Just made some changes to the beater bike. Threw on some 700 x 32 mudders and a set of double-sided pedals. Guess I'll play with it a while like this before I decide whether or not to really sell it.

I respect the monogamy. But I could never have just one bike.

Yeah its funny but in 35+ years of riding it has always been that way.

Not a money matter & I do like looking at the latest things etc but...
On the other end I really take good care & build my own bikes etc. So it is always in top shape &
represents what I want in a bike & fits perfectly

I live fairly remote so I keep spare parts of the main items so if something occurred I would not be without a bike

One thing that is nice is I only have one to clean & pour my attention into. I also never have any option anxiety about which to ride heheh

It's not so much anxiety for me, as guilt while I'm riding that I didn't choose a different one. But that usually goes away during the ride or the next time I ride the other bike.

The jacks and latex tubes, yes definitely.
