Yesterday, I loaded up 20 or so bikes plus a bunch of spare wheels and parts into my dad's old beat up F250 and delivered them to a flipper outside of Boston. My parents will be happy to have a stall in their barn emptied out and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders by getting rid of them.

I could have sold most of them in the $80 - $175 range on craigslist with minimal effort / parts but I just don't have the desire, time or space to work on low end bikes any longer. Most of the bikes shown were picked up at flea markets and yard sales or given to me over the last few years. I still have 10 or so bikes left, but they were the real turds and will be heading to the scrap yard.

I will still buy and sell stuff, I'm sure. But now only upper mid level to high end and in my size (unless it's too good to pass up). My life has gotten busy and I since I have limited free time, I would rather spend it riding / wrenching / upgrading my own bikes.
