If I were limited to one bike, it would be a traditional road touring machine with 700Cx32 tires. My son's three-bike stable makes sense, as well: 1) fairly fast 27-year-old road bike (my Peugeot PKN-10) with 700Cx25 to 700Cx28 tires and 36-108 inch gearing (triple 52-45-34 chainring and 6-speed 13-26 freewheel); 2) nearly new $1300 full-suspension mountain bike with 27 speeds and disc brakes; 3) 15-year-old old school mountain bike (Specialized HardRock) for general transportation/beater applications.
