Ah, yes. I don't blame you.

Perhaps a Vitus vee as a winter ss? That's what I wanted to get.

i use the one bike year round, its a fairly decent specced carbon framed bike, i dont understand why i would want to ride a cheap shitty thing for a few months. if the parts wear out quicker on the best bike then i upgrade them

It's a bike. It isn't a Ming vase

So long as I give it a decent clean when it's been ridden on salty roads there's no problem

They were out last night gritting the roads. So i can't go out on my winter cyclo cross,28mm tyres,mudguards etc bike as it's only a few months old and i don't want to get grit on the gears chain and derailleur. Which kind of defeats the object of having such a bike. Instead i'll be using my old summer bike as it's got used to salty roads over the years.

I only have one bike..... For a week or so I was lucky enough to have two, I did contemplate keeping both so I had one for winter but storage was an issue more than anything, so I will be using my best bike for winter! My old bike went to an excellent home and will be loved, so I wasn't too upset! :P

My best bike IS my winter bike.
