Furthermore, it does not mean I can't have more bikes. In fact, there are 9 bicycles in my home at the moment (well, 8, since the CAAD is right here in my office with me).
It may be a shallow interpretation, but I've seen it repeated many times on here and elsewhere. People seem to long for a bike that will be their "last bike". I'm baffled as to why.
Sounds like your definition of a "forever bike" is different from others though, so fair enough.
