Actually, that's not quite the correct answer. Close, though.

The correct answer is: 1. Get the favorite bike refinished. 2. Buy the new bike. 3. Start searching for the new bike after the 'new bike' is acquired, with intention to buy as soon as its found.

You know that your current bike is both wonderful and inadequate. A new bike will share those attributes after a while.
Knowing that will help you play this wonderful game we call “N+1”.

It’s. Just. A. Game.

Enjoy!
