Actually, I have never owned a "bike" before this Winter. I used to own none. My Karate Monkey is the only "complete" bike I own. Front and rear derailleurs, front and rear brakes. everything else that a complete bike needs to have. The rest are just parts; even though some "groups" of parts have been spatially contiguous for some time. Many piles of parts I store next to, and on top of, and attached to each other. I have even been known to ride some of those piles of parts. But I own just one complete bike. That is my story and I am sticking to it.
