We all call it N+1 dare i say sickness. Im down to 2 bikes and just recently realized im there,im not thinking about just one more accessory or bike. Everything ive set up on these 2 right down to the type of bells, is perfect for me. My mind is at rest so to speak.
So im wondering is this a mutation of the N+1 sickness or are there others out there who are perfectly satisfied,money no object, and have no desire to change a thing or add too the collection.
Im almost scared to ask. Id hate to be the only one with this new sickness. Maybe its old age setting in

I use to think that there was something wrong with me as the bikes built up and all the parts I have hanging around tires, tubes, pedals, brake pads, water bottle cages and water bottles, helmets, pumps. Then one day I realized I was just fine and that there was nothing wrong. Boy was that a load off my mind. Hang in there you will realize this one day also.
