n+1 has bitten

[hopless500]

I'm looking at a 2nd hand road bike.
Want it. Want it now! Just waiting for the owner to get back to me.

This could be a very very slippery slope....

 

[Dayvo]

You poor fool. But why should you be any different from the rest of us?

Good luck, hope you get it. And the next one: ad infinitim.

It's not this is it?

Call me picky, but this one appears to be missing quite a lot of parts.....

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Embrace the desire! My bike total stands at 5 and there is still enough room for +'s

To justify the n+1 acquisition behaviour, theme your collection e.g.

Different methods of braking: Discs - hydraulic and cable, rim - hydraulic, cantilever, v brake, side pul and dual pivot

Different gearing 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,22,24,27,30 and 33

Different gear changers, brifters, trigger, twistgrip, down tube, thum lever, bar end

You get the drift?

Mr Hop has loadsa bikes so justification not really required!
Well. Apart from my previous, "whatdya need another bike for?" comments, and "no, you're not keeping it in the bl@@dy house". And "when are all these bikes moving as I want my chicken coop back".
So maybe a small amount of justification is called for after all

Actually, would theming by colour be justification do you think??

Cough! Splutter!

You forgot to mention fixed wheel, single speed freewheel and Sach 2 speed kickback.

That's the dinosaur theme that I forgot to list.

if only n+1

if only n+1

It's always n+1 unless you make multiple acquisitions at once.

I caved in to n+1 recently, one more bike, now I need another one...

Learn to differentiate between 'need' and 'want'.

It reduces the swelling.

Indeed, 'want' would be correct,I do want more bikes, now I've sated my desire for one bike, I've become fixated on another bike which will consume me until I cave in to the n+1 rule again.
