I've been going over and over w/ the list, and I think I'm going to (hopefully) be down to less than 10 bikes. I know it will involve some hard choices, but honestly seeing some nice bikes leave, initially feeling a bit sad before they went, but then feeling completely content about it afterward, means that I think we'll be just fine seeing others leave.

I've found myself (as usual) drawn to more of the projects. The MT750 and the ST990 have both been projects, but they've been so fun to have and work on, that I think they are still keepers.

The Guerciotti is solidly in the keep category. If Jeff (DD) is reading this, I think I finally get it (RE: Italian frames/handling). And the group on there is completely holding the bike back, so that is going to be fun to rebuild that one w/ a much nicer group and lose some weight while we are at it. I had the 'lightbulb' ride on that bike the other night, and so I'm excited to see how even better it can get w/ better wheels and components.

My son continues to show interest in some of these old bikes, and loves to jump on bikes that I'm riding to tool around. His Midget got a flat, so we grabbed the little PXN-10 and he had a blast on it. Its just a hair too big for him, but he'll grow into it real soon. So I don't want to get rid of that one. But if we keep it, it will be his and I will not be counting it in my list, as I won't be riding it. I still also have the TdF, and it is roughly around the same size (52-53cm), so I'd like to put that one together and have him try it and see if he likes one over the other. And then maybe we can get rid of whichever one he doesn't choose.

I think the Sports Racer will probably go, and probably the Ironman? It's such a great bike, that I think it needs to be ridden more, and it is a bit redundant to a couple other 80s road bikes I have. The 'Mystery Meat' will continue to see duty, and we'll make a decision about that one once I have more miles under it. So far, it is performing great - a longer stem will go a long way into helping the ride/fit.
