Okay, so I don't have double-digit bikes, but I ride them all. The high-end ones are for longer or faster rides, the lower-end ones are for commuting or running errands, and the middle-end ones are for everything else, which is a lot and may straddle either end. The hardest part is selecting which bike even after the type of ride is settled. But since they are all subtly different I can usually rationalize any choice I wish.
Sometimes it is a matter of color.

If I need a saddle I'll go with my preference. If I already have a reasonable one appropriate for the bike's intended use, I'll use it. (There's a Brooks waiting with the Le Champion project. I've never ridden one before. It should be interesting.)

Ask her to help you start a thread "
Show us your shoe closet." Then on second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea.
If I get the chance I'll takes some pics of the cluttery/basement/workshop/dungeon/laundry room. Don't wait up for me.
