I have a bit of a heavy steel bike habit.

Scramblers on preorder again; with an ECR, Longitude, Pugsley and a Fargo already… do I need one?

@ajantom. I have more too… including a 456, a Tour de Fer…

@kayak23 I suspect that may be the case.  Hmmmm

Yes. I got one of the last batch and it’s the most fun on a bike I’ve ever had. Feels like a solid, sturdy tank when laden for bikepacking and like a poppy, giant bmx when it’s in trail mode. I will never part with it. Do it.

The question shouldn’t be ‘do you need one?’ But ‘do you want one?’  No one needs more than one bike as they’re a plaything. But they do look cool and if you’re going to actually use it then get one. I think a lot of people follow the N+1 rule and end up with lots of bikes that overlap and never get used. 

The Scrambler looks ace fun, but it’s be a waste if you’ll never use it. <br /><br />

I say go for it.

I really want to build up a new rigid single speed as I find my inbred too short (always have done) and if I could afford to stooge would be number 1 choice. So based on living vicariously through others, if you can afford it, do it.
