the list of bikes that I don’t ride, perhaps I’ll pull them down and photograph post Japan
Endpoint HG v1 now with swept bars but hydro brake drag issues
Co-Motion S&S CX that needs a BB replacement
Co-Motion S&S SS that is perfect and will never let go of
1982 Frezoni restored steel road bike that I rescued from a trainer and ironically (?) now lives on a trainer and has done more hours/kms in the last year than all bikes combined over the last 10Y.
Focus carbon rim brake di2 dead end bleep bloop road bike
Landshark steel CX frame in all blue&yellow flat bar SS build
1980s Michalo steel ‘light tourer’ built as a randoesque setup
Bike Friday Tikit about to be packed for Japan
Co-Motion alu CX that lives at the other end of the country when I visit family
26" steel MTB frame with mid drive conversion as e-townie
piece of absolute shit Peugeot “Country Randobike” (actual model name) that was abandoned and looked like it was worth saving and donating
Having the space to keep them, and the fact that they’re not valuable on the used market but high in nostalgia/memories etc means I have zero impetus to sell/donate them.
Yeah. Same with me. None of them worth anything. Quite a bit of nostalgia associated with half of them. Although I do try to give some of them away so I cant dither with them !
I have some bikes too.
Kogswell P/R
Shawver CX/rando
Clydesdale
