I have a lot of bikes...
IH sunday factory
Moots YBB
Staats MTX
Yo Eddy Fat Chance SS
Fuji Team SL road


I am thinking about throwing a Yeti 4x in the mix, and would probably take the place of the Moots, (which i hate doing...) Should I...

A. sell the moots staats and road
B. sell the moots and staats
c. sell the moots
d. dont buy another bike
e. sell the staats and road

I figure i can put the 4x together with around $2500 and i can probably get about that for the moots. I have raced 24 hours before and im not sure if i will do it again. i kinda need a trail bike/ xc bike for my move out to AZ in January and im not sure how much i would use the moots. i did 3 XC races this year. I have too many choices...:banghead:

C. Sell the Moots. If you want to race XC, do it on the SS. The SS scene out there is HUGE. Otherwise, you're gonna want more travel than that for general riding. Get a trailbike and use it for XC. Keep the rest. The road riding is pretty good out there as well, and if you get down to Tucson, there is a 9000' foot climb that can be done.

How is a 4X gonna take the place of a cross county steed? Keep your mountain cross or sell it and get the 4X - those two are pretty redundant.

Then get a 5X5 trail bike and either keep the moots as a lightweight XC rig or sell it.
