Out of the blue I have been contacted by someone who has expressed an interest in buying my Old Faithful, aka my back-up bike. It's a '05 Specialized Sequoia. *If* I decide to part with her, what should I get as my rainy day bike?
I have a Specialized Roubaix and an Epic in the stable now.
Maybe a Globe? Sirrus? Sump'in else?

How about a touring bike or cross bike? Gets you a long distance bike should you want to tour, clearance for fat (or studded) tires if needed, fender clearance, and generally a work horse that will go anywhere/do anything
What do you want to accomplish that your bike you're thinking of selling doesn't?

I am a big fan of cross bikes for ultility purpose but most aren't made for shorties like me.

You can't go wrong with a Trek 7.5FX.
I may be a little bit biased.
