New mountain bikes

Nine years ago, we both bought a new state-of-the-art (as we then thought) mountain bikes, we didn't think we'd use them much and assumed they might end up hanging for years on end inside our garage, like our two previous sets, that in all honesty, were primitive versions of what today is considered a decent bike.

We fell in love with them, and to this very day, I've logged close to 3,500 miles on mine and it's now starting to fall apart, as should be expected for a well-used machine.

So today, instead of throwing good money after bad, we both ordered a new pair of mountain bikes. Are we, as some would think, crazy? No, we're just optimistic because we just took another ten year lease on that great sport!
