Is it strange to own multiple versions of the same bike?
Hiya!
Interested in the thoughts of the greater paceline gang for a quick question. Has anyone picked up two of what is basically the same bike? I'm looking at building a frame or picking up another built bike. Currently own a caad13 rim brake... was thinking... maybe a disc brake caad13 set up to be a bit less aggressive while still being able to party. I've heard of folks doing this when racing, but anyone else? |

It's only acceptable when serially acquired. You have to sell your current one. Then realize you miss it. Then buy another.

We are all weird in our own way. You do you.
If you love it, maybe you'll love the next one more. Maybe less. But you won't know until you try.

You might have more fun building something different, just because variety keeps things interesting. Lots of early rim brake aero bikes that should be super cheap these days etc. Worst case you sell it and then buy a CAAD anyway.

Nearly any purchase related to this hobby can be justified.

I thought purchasing WAS the hobby, ****

I had a street version and a track version of the same motorcycle.
Same bars, same orientation, same shift pattern, same ergos, etc. not weird. |

I have a line on something else via the classifieds that I'm excited about for a totally different reason, though the process is taking a minute since I think it involves coordination between a few people. I just found a decent deal on a caad13 with some spare parts that would allow me to build up a slightly nicer commuter and sell the clunker I've been commuting on.

Same bike. Rim brake and disc brake variants.
One of each. Last edited by ridethecliche; 05-20-2024 at 04:02 PM. |

another bike is always a good choice IMHO.. esp if you can get it in a different color than the one you already have!
plus your reasoning is sound in my book.. save the rim brake for those dry days you just want to go fast and not necessarily long and have the disc bike for the other days.. sounds like a win-win to me!

Same frame, different sizes and colors and different versions of the standard fork. Keeping them both for now cuz they're soooo nice (and fortunately am not in a jam financially right now).
