Plenty of Dandyhorses in our stable...

Serial bike buying is a disease for which there is no cure...

Ton- you can't stop, if you do my "at least I'm not as bad as that chap ton on singletrack" defense will crumble and I'll have to admit I have a problem 😥

Ah i see, glad your settled on the 3. I've finally got settled with an inbred with 100mm rebas and a five with pikes as my 2, can't see me needing anything else - now i'm happy with the frames i keep changing components now, my mates just s**** whenever i declare my bike builds as finished! I can't help it, someone has to keep the bike industry afloat and if i don't spend my hard earned first the wife will soon sniff it out and blow it on clothes.
