@uxMark asks:

While acknowledging that, for some folks:
n=current number of bikes
n+1=optimal number of bikes

Q3. If you could have only *one* style (or brand) of bike, what would it be for you? Why this one? And what might you be giving up?

@ascentale @uxMark @bikenite A3. Well, brand I'd currently go with Surly since I like steel and they have any style I'd care to ride covered.

Style... something built for bike packing, probably the more loaded variety. It'd be too heavy for a lot of rides, but I'm a utility cyclist first and foremost. I've gotta lug kids around regularly hence the need.

@edd @ascentale @uxMark @bikenite On my ride yesterday (Bombtrak Audax) I saw another rider on a Surly Straggler, same model and color as my commuter: metallic grey.

@oheso @edd @ascentale @uxMark @bikenite I’ve a Hook EXT which is the same frame as the Audax. Like the Surlys I’ve had, they really are well designed and IMO ride way nicer than other brands with similar low end tubing. See also Genesis bikes.
