just a general philosophic discussion.
I found an old bike for sale that is almost completely factory spec. (I haven't picked it up yet, I scheduled for tomorrow).
Part of me wants to keep it intact and hang it on my wall because it happens to be the (same model) very first bike I bought in 1992. This one was obviously not used as much.
At the same time - I want to take it apart to complete 3 other projects.
If the bike was a motley collection of parts from "that era" I would have no problems with cannibalizing it, but the fact that it is factory spec is appealing to me.
And at the same time - i am running out of space!!! I don't want to ride this thing because, to be honest, it isn't that great of a bike. But I saved up all my money during the summer of 1992 for that bike and looking at this thing brings back a lot of memories.....
How do you guys decide which bikes you keep and which ones you don't?
