I plan on getting rid of 3 of them, whether it be complete bikes or parts. All are 57-59cm. The Two schwinns are on the chopping block for one reason or another, but I'm paralyzed between the Clubman or the Finest.
The Clubman: Reynolds 531. Nice ride. If I sold it, id put some lesser parts on it before it heads out, or sell it as frame+fork only.
The finest. Came to me super low mileage, but the wrong wheels and seat. So I have a set of the velomine wheels on it. Id swap on some ukai's with semi matching high flange hubs. Otherwise stocky stock
What would you do Classic & Vintage? The Raleigh is beyond classy, The Fuji has a cushier ride and chrome lugs.
When I downsized a few years ago I simply kept what I wanted. I didn't swap any components other than a wheel set on the bikes I sold. The D-A bike stayed D-A, the 105 bike stayed 105 and so on. My '89 Cannondale could've been a 7700 build, but it was already a 6400 build that I really like anyways. YMMV.
