Winter bike? Summer bike? Year round bike?

When I bought this bike, she was going to be my winter training bike.  During the summer, I am a road biker and I like to ride my light weight carbon bike.  That's what I do and have been doing it for years. Even dueing the first year of the pandemic, My road bike was my summer main stable.

But the winter of 2020 changed everything.  My former hardtail is now a rigid bike.  It was still going to be a winter bike becasue she has disc brakes and heavy.  The more I ride the bike, the more I love it. 

I didn't think I will enjoy riding a heavy bike, but I enjoy it becasue of the position.  The Dajia Far Bar really made the different.  I had the On One Midge bar before and it was okay.  But the new bar makes me want to go fast.  I am also using all positions during my ride.  

 

Winter training bike

I bought the mountain bike many years ago and my intnetion was to use it as a winter training bike.  Heavier bike with bigger tires will be slower and I won't get the bad wind chill.

But after modifications to the bike, I am riding it more often.  It transformed from being a hardtail mountain bike to a drop bar 29er for gravel and light XC trails.
