I can get behind that. At the moment I have a 'city' bike that I feel comfortable locking up for long periods of time in the city and now I want to build a new school track bike. After that I have considered building a 'vintage' setup...or for my wife as she digs the old stuff more. Nothing wrong with having multiple.
