reply to original post-
is the bike hobby a distraction from something else?

I get used bikes almost free all the time- thing is to be active and get them complete and flipped.
but sometimes you get a bike that may live or die and it sits around.

2x a year is the local scrap drive-lasts a bit more then a week.
this is the turning point of the collection.
get rid of as much unuseable parts as possible....because many better bikes will come home that week.

I have been starting to complete the project bikes in order to flip them in the upcoming week.
I like to get 4 listed at the same time.
