Nbd - n+1

With a growing daughter, new bike days come fairly often. Over the winter she outgrew her Hotrock 24" and today moved up to a 13" Myka 26" HT Disc. She probably could have gone up to the 15" but she felt a bit more comfortable on the smaller bike. There really isn't much difference in frame sizes just a little standover really. But my LBS gives me 50% trade in so in another year it will be NBD once again.

She is almost at the stage where buying bikes for her will get fun for me. Next bike might have full suspension. lol

My Dad had a scheme for making sure we didn't grow out of our bikes too soon.

I'd be the same way if I didn't get a good deal on these bikes. Her next bike will probably be mom's Stumpy Pro FS and my wife will get a new bike.

OOOO- Would say Forum Sirch but I can't spell it

"N" is the number of Bikes you have right now---N+1 is the number of bikes you need. So when N+1 comes along- you are up to "N" but N+1 still applies.
