No worries, the UO8 stays! It was my introduction to lightweight bicycles and it gets ridden too much because it is too good not to be ridden. If the Bianchi and the Masi and the Motobecane didn't push it out, the Gazelle certainly won't. My bike thanks you for the concern however.

FWIW, I didn't start this thread as a backdoor way to sell my stuff. Rather, it was a philosophical query, a rhetorical quest for the resolution of a dilemma. I am getting the sense that some pieces should stay and others be tossed.
