drystonepaul's bike list...

To keep my signature size down I've decided to consolidate all my build threads and ongoing projects into this thread.
Links out to individual bikes.

Hopefully this will help me keep a track of everything...

......Is that a form of confession?........like a food list?.......

Yeah. I'm drystonepaul and I am addicted to mid range mediocrity.

......no wonder you don't get time to shave!.......

....and its a good post to show when my wife says 'you have too many bikes'!....

Some beauties in that list

All those bikes, and none of them set up right, always needing attention on rides. Tsk.

When are you going to get rid of all that lot and buy one, single, decent bike?

Is this the first step?


BB.

he already owns as Zaskar...

Yes, I spotted on the list that he shamefully even owns a Zaskar.

So, for the sake of clarity let me re-phrase:


When are you going to get rid of all that lot [including a ceremonial burning of the Zaskar] and buy one, single, decent bike?
