I will admit that I set some aside when the drivetrains require cleaning, then service 4-5 or so at the same time.
Every once in a while one gets sidelined for a different reason, such as the bike with Shimano DynaDrive pedals, broke an alloy toe clip and it took a long time to find a mechanical replacement, 600 series steel units, I was just not excited of spending the big dollars for the aluminum Dura-Ace versions when I looked periodically.

There are a few bikes that are lying in wait. They are scheduled for my kids when they grow tall enough, they are getting close now. I still could use a 650c road bike though, I missed a few chances in the past 6 months.
