I would keep both. You need at least two bikes so that while you're tinkering with one, there's another one available to ride. I fubarred the rear rim on my primary commuter but had other bikes to ride while I was waiting for the new rim to arrive.

15 bikes? Zounds! Mrs. Doohickie would divorce me if I bought that many. She got mad at me when I bought #4 for $10 off Craigslist. But I sure would like to be able to do that.

There is no cure.
I hope Mrs. Doohickie never sees your post!
