As a loyal follower of the N+1 mandate, I am perpetually short a bike.
But Uncle Duke can still fill the beater/rain bike role as well if not better than before. I do need to get some wider fenders as the old ones are now too narrow. Lugnut (the Trek) covers some of that same ground, too. But I'm not completely satisfied with the way Lugnut is set up right now. The bars are not as comfortable as I expected. I have a set of trekking bars like George uses that I will probably put on it. But in a way I would like to make it back into a MTB. I think it looked and worked best that way.
I think what I really need next is a fixie. Or maybe a single speed rigid 29er. Or...
