Or Lou Reads "Heroin", not thinly veiled at all....

 

Thumbs up on Lou Reed, not so much on the H.

CostCo sent me an email regarding last minute Christmas deals. Move fast - quantities are limited!

I assume at this price, a personal courier will fly business class from Kobe to LAX to hand deliver all the CostCo Kobe New York strip steaks throughout the southland?

How many bikes does one have to have at a given time in order to reach true bliss deep within the soul?

 

N+1.

 

Not "42" ?

 

N+1 is the formula.

42 is the answer - to the Ultimate Question of Life. The Universe. And Everything.

Didn't you read the manual?

 

Just one. One new bike every few months.

 

I think most of us lack the financial means, and/or the spousal freedom to truly answer that question. It's kind of like how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop. I think @Sasquatch9billion 's formula makes pretty good sense though.

 

Correct number of bikes is: N+1=S-1

N = number of current bikes
S = number of bikes that cause spousal separation

 

Fortunately, I do not suffer from N+1 on bikes. I just want one great bike at a time, every 4-5 years.

 

I have 3 really good bikes 2 full suspension and 1 hardtail and enough extra used parts now to build another plus a brand new 2019 Hightower 27+ frame waiting in a box for the rainy day to assemble and put it into service. I've never felt better since doing this activity. My daughter enjoys her bike too. She rides more than me! So.. How many is enough? Maybe one more.

 

. . . [cough, cough] N+1...

 

Hmmm… I'll try to sell this formula to the Mrs.

 

I prefer the "one for every occasion" plan. And I'm not divorced.... yet....

 

What about your track, CX, Road and Baguette slayer needs? You don't use a mtn. bike for that, do you?

 

There is a bike shootout on page 26 of the January 2020 issue of MBA that you might be interested in.

 

I wouldn't now what any of these other bikes, platforms, XC, CX or races or whatever are being new to mountain bike riding in the last 2 1/2 years.
