No more bikes! Buy's another bike. Share your shame thread

officially (as far as teh wife is concerned) I have a one in / one out policy. However I aggregate this over time so it tends to be 2 or 3 in quick succession in, then some time later 2 or 3 out over a period of many months. in the past 12 months the population of the shed has fluctuated between 7 and 13. I like to think of myself as Mr Average

Re:

I just donated four bikes to a local charity that gives them to kids and refugees. Also built up and gave away another two frames that were not in use to family. Today I finished another build for my missus... I'd given away her first restoration away to her sister a few months ago. The parts bin is looking pretty barren and there's no spare frames hanging anywhere... apart from one in the lbs getting a stuck BB removed. So picking up another donor bike tomorrow...
 
Still trying to decide which frames to sell :roll: to distract from the decision i bought another 2 bikes and 2 frames this week :LOL: :facepalm:
 
Re:

It's getting worse... :facepalm:

1 bike and 1 frame bought this week :shock:

But 2 bikes up for sale and a third to be split down and sold soon :)

However, Mrs J only notices the bikes coming IN :?
 
Re:

Last March I bought a 95 GT Zaskar LE. It is a bike that I have wanted for 20 years. I love the bike and all the XTR m900 parts but now I'm afraid to ride it. I don't want to break anything on it. It just sits in my basement gathering dust. I decided to buy a 95 GT Tequesta because I'm less concerned with damaging it but I sold my wife's trek 6000 to get it.
 
I'm hovering over one of these - A first 27.5" Be interesting to see how they go.


Just need to sell off some bits first.

Thanks for this thread. I don't feel alone anymore...

It all started 4 years ago. Before I just had the "necessary" stuff: a CX, a mountainbike, a racebike and a trackbike. But than I bought this 1981 Koga Miyata and since than it's gone from bad to worse.

Currently in my shed:

9 mountainbikes
18 racebikes
3 tourer bikes
1 CX bike

most of them are split up as frames + boxes full of parts due to lack of space.

Bought in the past month: a 1991 Scott XC Fun, a 1991 Muddy Fox Courier Comp, a Saracen Kili frame, a 1996 Serotta Atlanta frame and a 1992 Alpinestars Cro-Mega DX.

I promised myself to sell all the unneeded (= too small or too large) but again I fooled myself...
