Down to a reasonable number now. Was 15 bikes and several frames plus a mountain of parts. Now down to six bikes and one frame. Mountain of parts is going to be drip fed into eBay over the next few weeks.

I think i will sell another few bikes and get it down to four.
 
This thread makes me think two things:
1) There are a lot of people out there who have 'it' much worse than I do, so I'm not so bad after all.
2) I am way behind the game and must try harder.

In reality I am limited by shed size and, showing great restraint, have ignored by wife's suggestion to extend said shed (the physical storage limitations is the only thing that vaguely keeps me in check).

To go with the theme of what bikes:

MTB
1991 Specialized Stumpjumper
Orange Vit T
Orange P7 converted to ss
Fat Chance Yo Eddy in L Kameleon with RC36s
Fat Chance Yo Eddy in XL (respray with 'fake' BOI)
IF Deluxe ss
Merlin XLM

Cyclocross
IF Planet Cross
Colnago ex Rabobank Team Bike

Road
Raleigh 531c Panasonic (Nuovo Record equipped)
Zullo SLX (Chorus equipped)
Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra (lash up of old Shimano 600 and Campag)
Saronni SLX (Campag equipped)

Commute
Pompino fixed

All are in rideable condition bar the Vit T which is lacking a chain.
 
I don't suffer from this problem....

All I have here in Ballaugh are my two Explosifs (my old '88 and the "Platsa Blue" '95 singlespeed), Karen's '93 RM Equipe ("Rosie") and my 2009 Singular Hummingbird singlespeed.

The two Explosifs I'm disposing of, so that leaves us with two.

Then, in Platsa, we have a '95 Kilauea and a '93 RM Blizzard.

I'm getting to this "less is more" type of thinking.
 
We're all nuts eh!

Before I joined, I had 2 bikes (one was retro by accident and getting replaced by modern) IIRC, and a few old bits about, plus 2 for GF.

Now:

198? Motobecane roadie wierd thing
1989 Muddy Fox Seeker
1991 Muddy Fox Seeker Mega Swapped for an exhaust for a car I'm not ready to use yet!
1991 Muddy Fox Sorcerer Mega
1992 Saracen Kili project
1993 Raleigh Apex
1993 Orange prestige
2000 FreeAgent Flying Fortress
2001ish Santa Cruz Bullit project
2007 Revolution Courier race SS conv
2008 Last Rufus SS

4 80's frames

And GFs 2

No sensible modern MTB really, I'd like to change this when I'm rich but wow thats a lot more bikes than I thought I had, no wonder I'm poor sorting em all! :D
