OK, right, I am meant to be moving into the middle of London mid summer. I currently have a large appartment in a country town in oxfordshire which has been superb in allowing me to expand my bike collection.
However with the impending move it is looking asthough I am not going to be able to afford the same amount of space for such luxuries in the city.
One option I have been fighting with is to sell some of the collection, the second option was to build my parents a new shed and store them all up in Yorkshire.
Remaining option is to put them into storage, but that will cost poop loads per year.
So the thought came to me to possibly loan out some of the fleet to fellow retrobikers to love and look after for me whilst im not able to keep the full collection at home. But I am not sure others will have the same particular love for each of my bikes. Bikes tend to be a very personal thing, especially retrobikes where they meant something to you in your youth and you have built them up from hand picked self-reasoned componants.
Hmm not sure where I am going with this...
And there ends a thursday morning brain fart.
