Buying a bike when don't "need" one!?!??

[MannyHarris]

Ok, would love to buy a new Moots or Stoemper. I really shouldn't, have two road bikes already, one is a bit big and one is pristine (15 yo steel Colnago). Thought it would be fun to hear reasons to or not to buy a new baby...

Because you'll ride that one more and consolidate.

At least thats how you justify it.

i've got 5 with enough wheels and parts for 3 more. What's the harm? If the budget can handle it, do it. I had a Prolitariat from the guys that became Stoemper. They know how to build them stiff. buying, building, riding, selling and doing it again is too much fun.

Because you need to yolo a carbon disc gravel bike

Don't be a schmekel--you always need another bike.

I have 6 road bikes.

I ride them all

Ok, I see I'm not the only one with a bike issue! Is there a 12 step program for this?!?!? Not sure the budget is really oking it, but no one will starve, the bills still get paid and our house is safe. Plus, I tend to keep my bikes and use them all.

I've lusted after the Eddy for a while. Anything to get you out riding, keeping in shape and in good health--can you really put a price on that?

first, you say one is too big...a bit big is too big...time to sell it. the pristine Colnago is great, but there are a few new things out there...just fun with new toys!

You come around here with fancy reasoning and logic like that and pretty soon this forum, possibly the entire internet, will cease to have a reason to exist.

HERETIC

Stone him!!!!!

[witcombusa]

Need? What does that have to do with anything?

Want...that is where you want to be

This thread is a waste of time.
If you have the money and you want another bike, buy it. No justification needed.
