It's here! My n+1, my first proper road bike (with gears!), introducing Mr.Blue!

[Andrew_Culture]

Ultegra changers, dura ace thingies and carbon forks; after my forty year old tourer (which I really did love dearly) and my fun-so single speed (which rattles like a retired washing machine racer's false teeth) this bike is smoooooth!

I haven't had a really long ride on it yet, that happens on Sunday, but it's so pretty!

Right stupid question (and yes I will use the blonde card if I have to) what is N+1??

Thank you for being brave when I am not!!

N+1 is the ideal number of bikes to own, where N is the number of bikes you currently own.

Rule # 12

// The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.​

While the minimum number of bikes one should own is three, the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner

 

[RussellZero]

N+1 = the number of bikes you need, where N is the number of bikes you currently own

 

[Mandy jo]

Oh so I'm an N+1 too and thank you

And I'm also a blondie

No immediate plans, but a sign of intelligence is the ability to change ones mind

Not a scooby; I know my bike doctor bought three or four of these frames because they impressed him and this is the last left as it was his hire-out steed.

dont get it dirty

How am I going to have fun if I don't filth it up? Half the fun is cleaning it afterwards, just me and the cats on the patio, and the daughter trying to eat the GT45
