N-2
So, I had a couple of bikes in the herd that in all honesty, I probably wouldn’t ride again, and my wife convinced me to part with them.
One was my old Trek 850 that I sort of planned to do a drop bar conversion on, the other was my 26” wheel BD hardtail. They did go to a good home though, they went to the daughter and her significant other, and hopefully the get miles put back on them.
I bet I’ll see them both again when they need work.

I intended to do a N-2+1, but it turned into a N-1+1.
Donated my 1991 Schwinn Hybrid to World Bicycle Relief and was looking to find a home for my 1995 Trek 520 touring bike. The idea was to buy a new bike (what today is called a gravel bike) that would replace the beater Schwinn when riding with my wife or on dirt/gravel and also replace the 520 for the type of touring I do these days.
Ended up keeping the 520 as my indoor trainer/Zwift bike. Bought a Jamis Escapade and it is fulfilling the dirt/gravel/touring role while my road bike still gets most of the mileage.
So, I can say that in my garage I actually do have 1 fewer bike now...

I just did that with one of my bikes, removed all the parts and hung it on the wall. its a nice looking frame but not something I want to ride right now and was taking too much space. Not really N-1, deactivated it
