A mate of mines uncle died a couple of weeks ago and we've been packing his lifetimes belongings into boxes.
He was obviously VERY into his model railways :shock: nearly every drawer you opened was full of miniature things trees, people, tunnels, stations you name it and it was sitting in a drawer :shock: literally thousands and thousands of things
Then while I was thinking wow your uncle was a bit mental I stopped myself and thought most people would think exactly the same of me :shock:
I've got chests of drawers full of weird stuff :? admittedy not quite as weird as a drawer full of miniature dogs but most people opening a drawer and finding it full of chains, cable outers, grips, bars, stems etc would find it pretty weird
The whole experience just got me thinking of just how much stuff I've accumulated that will probably never see light of day again :?
Lots of it is consumables that I've bought because it was cheap but realistically I've probably got enough chains, cables etc. to last me three lifetimes :roll:
I seem to have a real problem with P2 forks and I don't even own a Kona at the moment :? I have a fairly big problem with seatposts and my interest in wheels is starting to become a problem
But my main problem is whole bikes
Has anyone successfully had a big purge and gone down to just one or two bikes or are we all happy to be the eccentric relative who will be worth a fortune if scrap prices go up again
