Same thoughts here, hopefully i'm not at mid life yet though

Just restored what is my best bike and looking at all the other bits and pieces and deciding to get rid of them. I will keep the Bottecchia, Jim Bundy, Hillman, Abeni track bike, mid 90s Diamond Back Axis and Spokesman Touring bike. All the others will be going to Ebay or other good homes. I did pass on a few recently and it does feel good, and chucked out some of the cheaper ones that i'd never use, but had to pick up originally because of this addiction. My wife will have my old Technicomps and the kids just get bikes as we need them (great rubbish tip around here - i just picked up an old 24" bike that I will keep for them, just in case they are interested, and as its for them it doesn't count as part of my collection)

On a side note, i am taking the family on holiday to the Gold Coast (Seaworld), then sunshine coast next week. Pleeeeaase don't have a garage sale sign out on the higway saying "Bargain Italian/Australian racing bikes" I won't have the trailer and will still be weak from only just coming to this cleansing realisation
