Hi miamijim,

How did you arrive at the decision to flip? Was it a long, drawn out decision? I can see many nice bikes in your list. I'm sure they will be most wanted by new collectors.

I went through a similar process about a year ago - sold off 18 bikes and 30 years of Campagnolo collection. I've still got 15 bikes though. (You never know when you will need to go for a ride.) I only kept bikes that I considered beautiful to ride. My only real regret is that I miss my Campagnolo collection.

I can appreciate that the extra funds would help to buy other desirable stuff. Interested to see you will keep the Litespeed - a bike I always wanted but never attained.

Best wishes for the new future,

Gary.
