While it was my intention, now that I'm retired, to getting Syke's Cyclery back going full blast like I was doing last decade and the first half of this one, I'm also noticing the market isn't there for fixing and flipping anymore. So, I'm not bothering. Rather I'm spending the time working on a couple of projects of long term interest (my '77 PX-10 which will be on the road . . . . . someday), finishing the final details off my Rossin's, and messing with whatever I can get my hands on that's pre-WWII. And working with a couple of WWII reenactment groups who want to add a bicycle to the group impression, but are determined to do it perfectly.

I'm still probably going to do a bit of culling on the personal collection (19 bikes now, unfortunately I can only think of two that I'd want to sell right now), and I'm definitely not interested in adding anything new . . . . . . unless it's another Rossin . . . . . . so I'll just keep wrenching as needed and riding daily.

I will admit, I had fun back then running the full blown repair and restoration shop. Pity the market's making that untenable.
