I have four bikes.

I keep the 1987 Diamondback Ascent I bought at a thrift store for $7.50 to get back into biking during the pandemic. Haven't ridden it for three years.

I keep the 1989 Specialized Rock Combo because my good friend and college roommate (circa 1965) bought it new and I'm the second owner. I put in a lot of time fixing it with new components, decals and touch up paint. Has sentimental value. Haven't ridden it in a couple of years.

I keep my 1995 Rockhopper I bought for $50 because I have it set up for pavement and dirt roads. Because of the Shimano crank recall, the dealer installed a new bottom bracket, chain rings, cranks, and chain at no cost. I run Schwalbe Land Cruisers which roll well on pavement and are stable on gravel roads and two tracks.

My 2013 Specialized Elite is my road bike to run with my son and grandson on pave trails.

Is that okay with the OP?
