Very interesting, so the way you avoid burnout or fatigue is thinking of each bike this way, sort of a holistic approach to each bike ..... I love it, I'm going to try this with the 8-10 Cellos and Basses I have waiting to get glued back together, hopefully that'll help me find the motivation to get it all done!
