Ive spent $1000s as most of us have,and gone through literally dozens of bikes and hundreds of bits and pieces(accessories)over the years,selling and or giving away and buying more always looking for that perfect bike or combination of bikes and never reaching that goal. We all call it N+1 dare i say sickness. Im down to 2 bikes and just recently realized im there,im not thinking about just one more accessory or bike. Everything ive set up on these 2 right down to the type of bells, is perfect for me. My mind is at rest so to speak.
So im wondering is this a mutation of the N+1 sickness or are there others out there who are perfectly satisfied,money no object, and have no desire to change a thing or add too the collection.
Im almost scared to ask. Id hate to be the only one with this new sickness. Maybe its old age setting in

Especially since I understand one of your bikes is a folder.

I think your right. Im waiting for intervention team that billydonn sent to show up.

Down to just my Brompton folder and the LHT. They each serve a purpose very well and i really dont need anything more, but i suppose if the right one jumped out at me or followed me home i might be persuaded to take it in.
Maybe there ought to be a vaccination for this,couple of guys who posted are pretty close to my original post description.

N+1 is the result of a chemical compound emitted by the brain when desire(+) overrides (N)eed. The chemical compound replaces what was formerly testosterone but has the same result in that it overrides logic. (1) is the number of objects one can normally smuggle into the residence without spousal knowledge.
