Does it ever stop?

[orange71]

^^^yeah - exactly what Jango said.

I wonder if some of us on this forum who have been around for a few years are now reaching the point where we are going in ever decreasing circles as we now know what we like and don't like. There are not many frames left I hanker after (except those I cannot afford until I am retired), so it's just upgrades generally now.

LOL @daj

I think these forums make it worse, and the internet and eghey

I bet I'd be happy with one bike, and one car

I bought one old car to replace 2.5 that was useful and fun for the weekend, its still not finished but it has 6 other stablemates. Ooops

Yeah One bike, I'm interetsted in a modern do it all hard tail, but am building a full susser cos my mate was selling it and the frame was affordable. :roll: I build a mUddy Fox after discovering here, and now hungry for a XC all weather tough blaster, next/and/or then an E stay thing of beauty and still fancy rebuilding my 4X bike with a better lighter frame and bits as a trail beast and track funster.

no hope for me, i can feel some sales coming on eek, but yeah i like a good project..

Ok, I've finally accepted that the fever for buying frames/parts will burn less brightly but never quite extinguish. But does the need to continually fiddle with a perfectly respectable and working bike ever stop? Does having a 'final' build equal complacency and the death of ambition or maturity and acceptance of what life has to offer?

I have probably asked the 'fever' question before (here or in my head, probably both), but are there any words of comfort or am I alone?

That's very philosophical Ed! Must be holiday fever addling the braincells. Now I was under the impression that having got your "stable" in ship shape condition (strange mixed metaphor there I think) there was some kind of transference to your friend's bikes! Roll on the Rockhopper rebuild....

So you won't continue searching for something you didn't know you needed?

"Does it ever stop?"

Well there are eight bike hooks in my garage. And I only have seven bikes. Hook #1 is reserved for something very special albeit thus far elusive

kev, we really need to work on tucker for you

you need to accept there is no such thing as a final build.

ditto
