I say that often to myself, but of course have exceptions like any Trek 720 in my size for a good deal as well as any Paramount, which one may or may not be en route to my domicile as a (to everyone else) "unmarked lugged steel road/fixie/touring bike..."

Do you think @gugie can change it back from 650b?
Could he also remove those studs and extra braze-ons?
I do not need a rack and low trail fork, I will just use a fanny pack... or back pack...

I believe one of the BF members signatures, dont remember who, pretty much sums up those kind of statements.

Found it and it sure applies
If someone tells you that you have enough bicycles and you don't need any more, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
