Bikes: Not as many as there were awhile ago.

Just checking in.

Thought I'd check in as it's been awhile, the shop and garage reorganizing is behind schedule but going well overall. I haven't parted with any bikes or parts YET but every time I move them around to work or clean I become less and less enamored of some of them, even a few I thought I would never part with are now in peril LOL. But even with my shift in attitude toward some of them it's going to be tough downsizing the herd, the vintage bike market is all but dead here and the bike market in general is really weak. Most of my bikes are 25 inch frames, not hot sellers in the best of times. I anticipate having to literally give some of them away. I actually tried giving a couple away a few weeks ago, they're still here and they were small frames! I have managed to reduce their "footprint" in the back garage though by hanging several up and I put up PVC to hang up the bulk of my wheel inventory over the bikes that are still on the ground. I also prioritized them with those that are rideable either on hooks overhead or on the floor in front, then those I'm most likely to work on soon behind them and the rest in back. I plan to sort parts and re-evaluate my plans for the bikes that aren't done over the Winter. The only thing I know for certain is that I'm keeping the Worksop built Raleighs and my '97 TREK 820 I bought new, all the others are yet to be determined.
