Does anyone not have a mountain bike?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Just wondering whether there's anyone who doesn't actually have what would be considered a mountain bike? I'm considering a very big, new year bike cull and can't decide what should go and what should stay ... there's 3 on the list that will certainly go and 2 that might but that still leaves a few more as yet undecided, these are the ones that are less 'mountain bikey' although still capable enough to go off road.

confused

are you asking if we have any other bikes then just mountain bikes??

Or are you asking if anyone wants a mountain bike??

Sorry, now I've read it again it doesn't really make sense :D

I suppose, I'm asking ... does anyone use a non mountain bike for bikepacking duties, CX, Hybrid, shopper, etc ?

Haha not just me then

Well we all have a tendency to ride exploding 29ers according to the folk on STW :D

sounds like you need a bigger shed rather than a cull.
If you really need a cull I'd start with anything with small wheels though...
