To me bikes are a lot like golf clubs. I guess that I could play a whole round with a 5 iron by using it for every shot and could ride a mountain bike about anywhere. However if I golfed, I would choose to have a club for the different shots I'll be taking and try to select the shafts, grips and heads with a cost/benefit analysis. I would also be limited by my wife as to how many clubs I have in the bag just like I am with the number of bikes hanging around in the garage and basement.
