Dilemma: To sell or not to sell

[Catrin]

I just received my new road bike - a wonderful Gunnar - yesterday.

I am now debating whether I should sell my old one.

It's a parts rack: fantastic components, still very solid despite going over 17,000 km, but not such a great frame. It could be a good starting bike for someone. I think I could get a few hundreds of dollars for it. I don't desperately need the money but hey, it's $$ right?

I have other bikes (a commuter and a fixed gear) that I can ride if the road bike is in the shop... but I sort of like the safety of a spare bike... Or perhaps the other one could become a winter bike? I have mixed feelings.

Any thoughts or personal experiences to share?

Nothing wrong with having 4 bikes - and I think it would be nice to have a spare road bike or turning your old faithful into a winter bike Of course, nothing wrong with having a few extra $$, but would you regret it if you sold it?
