I'm struggling with the stable.  We each have 4 bikes (I just added a 5th) and we ride all of them occasionally.  Hoewever we have an old one-car garage and there is only room to hang 4 bikes so the rest are taking up floor space.  How do we consolidate at least some of the joys of the Road bike, MTB, Cross bike, and the simplicity of the SS? The sub-15# road bikes are an absolute joy to take on long fast outings. The MtBs are the only way to play in the dirt. We use the Cross bikes as touring and trailer=-pulling errand bikes. The SS are the choice for trips to the library, quick store trips, and riding out to dinner. It seems that one of the new belt-drive 8-11 speed internal hubbed bikes might be able to merge the Cross and SS bennies, but at what price!!!  Not to mention that nothing I've found approaches the sub-25# weight of our Cross bikes, even with racks and trailer hitches.  Maybe someday, until then I guess we'll keep adding to the stable. Gates Belt Drive!

(grin) In my defense, I don't let my chains get rusty, so I know not of this "iron oxide of neglect" of which you speak.
