Been riding Domanes and a Madone. Picked up a Torelli with Veloce/Centaur gruppo. And now I have a new love for Italian steel.

The addiction to N+1 is biting me big time! I think I enjoy the building process just as much as riding. Each bike build is a challenge, but definitely fun!<br /><br />A BF member recommended a red saddle for my recent road bike build, so I got one:<br /><img src="https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikeforums.net-vbulletin/1200x800/red_saddle_0cfbdc0a63d9132f866ded146d31eeaa9f0c41d1.jpg"></img><br /><img src="https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikeforums.net-vbulletin/1200x800/saddle_red_02_ef17ce7566d71ddaeb923f903b9ed971a8b5d4ba.jpg"></img><br /><br />My gravel bike is also rolling<em> bi-polar</em> treads with a GK SS tire in the back and a GK SK tire in the front. I actually like the combo for mix-terrain riding:<br /><img src="https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikeforums.net-vbulletin/1200x800/jsf06861_46d73735edecd2f2d19cae95a02114d5aaa7a511.jpg"></img><br /><br />This is my recent "spare parts" bike that I'm assembling with an emphasis on budget. I've been thinking about putting together a durable 1x climbing road bike and I realized I have so many random parts laying around, I can finally build it! I'm just waiting on some budget disc brake calipers to arrive in order to finish it:<br /><img src="https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikeforums.net-vbulletin/1200x800/jsf06986_83f6c2397affdbfa80cabeb79c345ca1527472f8.jpg"></img>

In true N+1 fashion, I recently picked up a 2020 Specalized Allez Elite E5. Covid special, was bought, stored in a garage, and never ridden. I paid $963 for this bike, with the stated purpose of it being my “trainer bike”. Of course I have a Tarmac for road riding, and a Diverge for gravel riding, so lets have an Allez for trainer riding.
Of course to make it mine it needs new handlebars, stem, pedals. And now I am going to take it on the road to see what it can do, so we need speed and cadence sensors.
This N+1 thing is expensive. :-).

Your bikes look (and probably ride) great. If we lived closer, I would try to convince you to work on my bikes, and build me one as well. Thanks for sharing!

I am just over 6ft. tall. I lowered the seat and am able to ride. I am not a road bike guy and will try to sell. as I prefer to putt around on my 1965 Schwinn Deluxe 3 speed Racer.
