Hmmmmm = downsized a year ago to 3, now has 7 (admittedly 3 projects). Sounds like N+4 for 12 months.
I have downsized twice in the last 12 years to only one vintage bike (I've always kept my custom newer bikes).
It brought me NO JOY on either occasion, and, after much consideration, I restocked with nicer ones.
