Is there something wrong with me? n+2

I had the same road bike for 21 years, and the same touring/commuting bike for 23. Then, between 2009 and 2012 I bought, in order, a new IGH commuting bike, a new touring bike (because the IGH bike wasn't great for long highway rides , and a new road bike. Now I'm thinking of swapping the IGH bike for a Surly Moonlander or something like it. After that I'll probably be good for another 20 years or so, by which time I'll be in my mid-70s.
Once every 22 years whether I need it or not... that's my new motto for bike acquisition.

Moonlander is such a cool name.

Heh. I have 7 bikes. On one hand I'd like to have less bikes to be more minimalist but I really like all the bikes I have. I'll just let attrition take care of it.

On the other hand I'm not totally ruling out getting another bike if I happened to come across something I really like but it would be hard to top the Salsa Vaya Ti that is my most recent acquisition.

I did just sell my LHT frame (that the Vaya replaced) to a TE gal here.


My bf has 7 bikes too. He is a bike mechanic and has his own personal bike shop and all the tools in the basement. We are enablers for each other as far as bikes go. Could be worse.
