So, how many unfinished projects do you have on the go?

over the last few months been trying to ensure the rideable projects are 100 percent done and also trying to move on kit which has no intended home. In the couse of doing this realised i still have more unbuilt and unfinshed stuff than complete!
 
I've had a really big change of heart lately :shock: there's nothing like seeing a pile of scrap metal you paid close to £20,000 for to focus the mind :shock:

I'm cutting right back ( except for road bikes :wink: ) but I'm trying to get down to 1 modern and 2 retro bikes and thats going to be my limit :?

Finding it hard to let go of completed bikes and complete bikes that just need a tinker though :roll:
 
I put one in the vote, and then wondered if I actually had the heart to skip the Karakorum if no-one wants it.

Maybe I could just give it a quick strip and cheap paint job and have it as a work bike....then I could take the Kona back off road with a front disc and some new wheels (which I have acquired)...and then there are the 2 or 3 frames I will have to buy from our work auction for pennies (Bear Valley, Clockwork...)...arrggghhh

Frames awaiting inspiration/parts: ProFlex; Mantis; RM; Nishiki; Saracen; Spesh; RTS; Haro Ti; Ibis; Jamis... I think it's because frames are easy to come by (if you have an open mind to collecting) and seem to represent the best value - it's the cost of the amalgamated parts and the time it takes to collect them that puts the sticks in the spokes. I've depressed myself through doing this audit, mind... :roll:

I've got one on the go at the moment. I would await impending death from above (the missus) should that figure rise at all.... :lol:

I do however have a big box of spare parts that would just love to be hanging off a frame. So who knows? :wink:
 
I have one project on the go. Its a complete box jigsaw puzzle ready to be assembled. Just need to find some time and tranquility to do it right :wink:

I agree with MrK though - frames are easy to come by. Earlier this year I had 7 frames hanging in the garage awaiting builds. I sold all of them as none of them were inspiring me enough to do anything with them.
