What bike/bikes are you riding?

You're always enthusiastic about your Lynskey, so I would suggest keeping that as you winter indoor trainer/summer ride. The tourer would work as a year round commuter too so if you can persuade the mum-to-be that you need a new bike, that would be the route I would take. Good luck with that conversation!

Put three bikes up for sale today: Colnago, Raleigh, and no-name commuter. Still considering my other choices. Mum-to-be is happy with new bikes, thankfully, especially one that can be used for more utalitarian purposes - considering the Surly Trucker Disc or a custom Steelwool for the commuter/tourer/kid towing bike.

+1000 You have to keep the Lynskey. You just have to!

I do like the idea of tourer/commuter to compliment the stable, though I'm sad for you that Colnago has to go...

Thanks, Flyor64. Lynskey is definitely staying! I am sad to have to sell the Colnago as well, but in all honesty I don't ride it that often to justify keeping it. Keeping the Cervelo S2 or selling it and replacing it with a Pinarello ROKH is my next dilemma. The Cervelo S2 is nice bike, but I don't race anymore. My riding style is more for enjoyment, longer rides, and experiencing some of the back roads. So the ROKH sounds like it may be a better fit for me. I will test ride one this weekend.

Congrats! That's a solid entry level bike that will last many years with good maintenance. I hope you log lots of km's together.

I had you picked as a Specialized girl though lol

There were no good Specialized deals though

My thoughts exactly

Now go on put some climbing Km's on that bad boy.

Climbing, are you crazy, there are no climbs over here
