when do you reach "too many bikes"

Coquitlam Geoff

Retro Guru
I know this will generate some comments and I know some guys in the plus 50 bikes but I am giving this some serious thought as I contemplate culling some vintage Mtn Bikes...
Up to 18 bikes now (have owned well over 40 in the last few years), and now feel I should focus on the local guys (Paul Brodie Chris Dekerf, Derek Bailey)
Current inventory:
5 Brodies (90/91 Climbmax, 93 Expresso, 93 Sovereign, 95 Libido)
4 Rocky's (88 and 90 Blizzard, 91 Experience, 94 thin Air)
3 Kona's (92/94 Explosif, 94 Hei Hei)
91 Ti Macmahon
98 Moulden (Cdn- made fillet brazed Reynolds 853)
99 Rick Lobster Team DS (5 made) Reynolds 853
89 Ritchey Ultra
89 Breezer Thunder
95 Dean FS prototype (Aluminum)

do you have any pictures? :)

And i think its depends on varying factors, how many you feel you need, how much space you have etc.

So which one will you sell first?
 
Re:

those Kona explosifs would be first, very easy to get them in the 92-97 years locally, I have had 5...
Then the Dean FS protype ( 1 of a kind )
after that it would be tricky...

Don't ask me! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

I have potentially 19 all working, when I finish the ones I'm working on. I said enough is enough, at around 12 or 13. :oops: :facepalm:

I recently culled my herd including some serious ‘keepers’. Quite liberating actually and I’ve not looked back.
