And yes, I'm glad I got the CCM. I think it will be an invaluable tool, and I need to keep learning about bike mechanics, anyway, so it's good to have another build.
I haven't figured out the stem/bars for the Peleton yet. But if it's a 22" bike, I'm very optimistic about getting it to work.
I'm not giving up on the Mondonico, either... but I can't really play with it until Spring. I love* the Mondonico, so I'm hoping it will work out.
I like that horse, or half a horse.
I think my basic insight is there's no good immediate reason to get rid of or give up on any of your bikes. There's a potential benefit to each of them. CCM: fit study/winter bike. Peloton: fit study/hot bike. Mondo: hot bike/ultimate machine.
You'll better learn what you need and want by trying different things. You've got quite a range of bikes to learn from.
