A look at my garage and you'd think it was being squatted in with all the parts and projects, just without the meth fumes. When I write down everything and see the numbers, I kinda realized I have a problem. It used to be I'd accumulate flips, but everything is in my riding size range and almost all could be keepers.

I did some break downs on what I have:

Eras
50s -- 3 (1 American, 1 French, 1 Brit)
60s -- 2 (1 American, 1 Italian)
70s -- 12 (5+ British, 2 French, 2 American)
80s -- 11 (2 Italians, 6 American, 3 Japan)
90s -- 3 (2 American)
00+ -- 13

6 are fixed gears, 8 are mtbs, 2 tandems.

I think my username will be seen on the C&V Sales subforum over the next few months... It's just now I have to decide what to sell when and where and procurring enough boxes. Some can go local, but others I'd rather send to people here.
Size?

Some of us have a hook or two to spare...
