Re:

Hi, if it helps I have at least twice your issue, but I'm hoping for a controlled release to supplement my pension when I retire in a couple of years, so there's method in the madness, but that said, I have a number of times over the last years said that's enough, but cycle jumbles and bargains have tempted me from the path. Don't get rid of holy grail stuff, you'll regret it, the amount of 'finds' is getting smaller, and really, collecting is healthy as long as it doesn't effect the family unit, buying and selling at jumbles ( when they return ) is a good way of continuing, more fun than fleabay and the family can assist at the tables while you are looking for the good stuff. Thanks Terry

tsk tsk, burning a hole in your pocket :facepalm:

I've been saving the funds ive made off my accumulated bits. otherwise it fritters away. Save it in a different account, or a box under the bed, but all together you can get or invest in something nice.

Re:

Blokes as a rule like tinkering with stuff . be bikes ,cars, trucks what ever .
Limited space has kept the number of bikes to a sensible number as far as I am concerned . If it either to big or small for me to ride,it has been moved on .
Saxon twin tube went lat year .Claud Butler stripped down .The frame is hanging up in the office /spare room,well it is a start :roll: . At least 2 others,on move it list . If the price is right it can go,with regards any of my classics .
Only one bike left inside the home . A Kirk has to be kept away from any chance of damp :!:
Classics are
3 Carltons. Hmm
Paris.
Sun Manx tt . To go.
Bates.
Mercian. :?:
Hetchins.
Kirk.
Evans. To go
Claud Butler. Stripped .
Fake Gate . :facepalm:

It has proved therapeutic.... however, I've just forced myself to pre wrap up the Classic TT, as I keep looking at it & thinking "what if?" even though I know its too small for me... :facepalm:
