Not saying it's wrong but on this (50+) forum you will always get advice to keep what you have, buy old used bikes, or just to not spend money.
Personally, I don't get emotionally attached to objects like bikes or cars and I like to buy a new bike every few years. I last bought a road bike in 2012 and it was used.
I don't normally buy used bikes but this one got me so I bought it. Then, of course , I had to change things to get it the way I wanted it.


Last year I bought a new mtb.
