Yeah, it's a funny contrast between:
1\. If you've got money to spend, buy yourself the coolest toy you can. Bike purchases really don't seem like they can be a large negative in the grand scheme of things.
2\. Being content with your toys and spending money on experiences will get you more bang for your buck long term.
3\. It's kinda fun to buy and sell bikes and try new ones.
My theory is that once you've got the major categories filled: BMX/DJ, hardtail, trail, DH, commuter it is probably best practice to just keep riding things till they break. By that time, maybe something genuinely better will be on the scene.
