I'm happy to be finishing the year minus a couple of bikes, though not necessarily happy with how it happened.
I crashed and wrecked my Fuji, which had been set up as a winter singlespeed. Once I'm healed up enough to do it, I'm going to convert my Univega Viva Sport to that role, and save the excess parts. That's an N-1
I also gave my Raleigh Sprite three-speed to a friend who will use it a a city bike in Portland (Maine, not Oregon.) It wasn't practical for the Vermont hills around here. Another N-1.
I scored a 1972 Gitane TdF frame, but that one is a wash, since I'm going to clean it up and move the components from my 71 TdF--which was always a little small for me--onto the larger frame. N+/-0.
So all in all, it was a good year--I'm down to 7 bikes, I think.
