I should be n-1, but that may turn back into n+0. I can really only justify two bikes. The Marinoni gets as much riding time as possible, and the Rambouillet is now the dedicated fender bike. There's only room in our house for three readily accessible bikes, and that must include my wife's, who rides as much as I do. The extensively upgraded Miyata 912 doesn't get any riding time now that we don't have a vacation home.

I've offered the 912 to my son who likes classic lugged bikes and shares my odd fit proportions. But if he takes it, my slightly small Klein that he's now using will come home, and I'll have an equally hard time (emotionally) selling that one. Maybe I could justify it as a "guest bike"!

And then there's the possibility that I'll find a frame that my wife will consider suitable as her backup bike. That would put me at n+1 and a storage situation.
