I need to be in this group. During the pandemic I grabbed many cheap old French bikes and frames and built them up with decent parts. I gave several away but I still have five Peugeots from 1962 to 1988, two Gitanes (one in 531), and a Follis (also 531j. On top of these I lucked into three vintage frames (Paramount, Holdsworth, and Mercian) in my size, all in 531. Plus a Masi, a custom Rodriguez, a couple custom Stevensons, which are not ever going anywhere. I need to make at least two, preferably three, of these disappear . . . . I am thinking the non-531 Gitane and the 1962 Peugeot, but it's like I'm frozen in indecision.
