Some I will end up loving and keeping, others I will learn are not for me and will re-sell. Even if I do that to dozens of bikes over the years, I still do not see it as flipping unless the initial goal was to sell for profit. (Not that there is anything wrong with that either!)
Veloria,
You're not a flipper. You bought those bikes, gave 'em a serious go, featured them on your blog, and sold them if/when they didn't work for you. This new thing, with the shogun, that's not
flipping, but you are doing some "flippant" stuff, which will end up promoting your blog. I find that admirable, but others might try to criticize it.
