Should I buy another bike.

[Disgruntled Goat]

My employers are part of the Bike2Work scheme which I have yet to take advantage of.

Thing is, I have just about all the bikes I need:

Ti Road Bike
Classic alum Road Bike
Classic Steel Road Bike
Mountain Bike
Cross Bike for commuting


But it seems rude not to take advantage of buying a bike with 40% off. I need to take up the offer soon as I intend to leave work in about a year's time.

These two take my fancy, not because I need them, but just because they look interesting:

Should I buy another bike just for the sake of it? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

But of course!

 

[red_tom]

Definitely!

I really like the Guvnor. You'll have to get a flat cap to go with it.

 

[Landslide]

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Buy them both!

 

[fossyant]

You are asking the wrong people - what does the 'boss' say !

 

[k-dog]

never mind

 

[Graham O]

NOT the Pashley. It just looks wrong!

 

[HLaB]

n+1

 

[John the Monkey]

NOT the Pashley. It just looks wrong!

Heresy!

(Incidentally, I like the way Evans describe it as a "Hybrid", should make for some interesting purchasing decisions... )

 

[betty swollocks]

i) a fixie
ii) a recumbent
iii) both of the above

As I said here in post #98, Only get this if your name is Tarquin and you live in Chelsea, in mummy's "other" flat, for when she meets up with the brigadier.

 

[Trillian]

get the steamroller, you haven't got a fixie

 

[GaryA]

DG has too many bikes already...ive been after a cyclocross bike for years but could never afford-or justify a decent one

Gizza bike- i could ride that

 

[domtyler]

Get yourself a decent fixie, not sure that the Surly is it but it might be.

 

[Aperitif]

Get an ordinary commuter bike and lend it out to encourage people to ride...

(That Pashley is a munter - did anyone see 'Luxx' magazine with the chromed limited edition in the back?
