I wanted a McLean more than anything.

Found a super nice example and loved it.

I'm now in the process of selling it.

I've had Kvales, a Mariposa, a MAP, various De Rosas, oodles of Tommasinis and EMs pass through my hands.

The list could go on.

Loads of cool off-road stuff as well.

So many exceptional bikes, but ultimately I always find another to chase.

Recently I have downsized to the point I have open hooks here.

Yet, I am selling a few more this spring.

FWIW I'm looking at a couple of framesets to build into multi-purpose rides. I ordered another Black Mountain Cycles Monstercross as I want to ride a steel bike off road this season. That means the EM AluCross will hit the market soon as well.

A bike like an Ebisu All Purpose may fit here, but the heavy tourer Bilenky would have to go first.

I can actually see living with three or four bikes to enjoy in the very near future.
