So I have 2 bikes, a GT Zum (new) and a Saracen Python 1 (older) I'm soooo used to the Python that I tend to like to use it more than the Zum even though I know, and can feel the Zum is a far better, and “faster” bike....

Also, what do you guys do about the accessories.. for example my Python has Cane Creek bar ends on it which I love should I get another set and put them on the Zum, or just change them over every time I switch bikes.

Is the a system to losing the “old shoes syndrome” for bikes, I just keep wanting to hop back onto the Python I'm thinking it’s because it feels right, its set-up right and it’s NEVER broken down on me, the Zum however has broken down x3 in as many months..

How did you guys transition from an old bike you loved and were used too.. onto a bike that you know is better, but just does not feel the same?


Cheers,

-Peter
