I was just perusing the Shed Thread and it got me thinking about what I/other's keep when it comes to cycling. In the rest of my life I'm very orderly and alphabetical. My records are all alphabetical and my books are by type and alphabetized. If I don't use something other than tool's, books or records for more than 6 months I'm generally good at donating it or giving to a friend or houseless person. My beer memorabilia is all by type and size etc. Other than the shared spaces with the ADHD girlfriend where her piles engulf and swallow my organization, I'm really good about neat and orderly.
But damn if I can do it with bicycle stuff. My parts are a jumble and I'm trying to pair everything down to just the bikes I ride and the parts to keep them going. And I'm still keeping mid tier freewheel wheel sets I'll never use, frames that don't fit/don't like how they ride or old Campy stuff when I will always use a slant parallelogram derailleur and don't collect old bikes anymore Or I keep old rear derailleur cables because I can use them again on front derailleurs, bolts galore that I've forgotten what they went to, canti brake straddle cable holder's when I've switched to the Shimano one's because of convenience. Or how many Shimano Lx canti's do I need? It's not like they break... It's a bit disconcerting...
Anyone else have this problem? And most importantly, does your significant other approve or disapprove?

) i started with the smaller bits. I used to get obsessed with building bikes around a certain part like a stem, thumbies or deerhead parts or even a brooks saddle.
