Well, I thought I'd revisit this to see if my thoughts from two years ago were sound.
Since the OP I have sold the following bikes.
Pacenti - Went to an older guy who bought it based on the advice of his younger son who is a fellow "steel is real" kind of guy
Colnago Master Extra Light - The small size made this an easy sell
Holdsworth Professional - I never really got excited about this one so another one easy to let go
Kestrel 200 SCI - Listed over a year and finally sold this weekend. I did have some regrets about letting this beauty go
Softride - So fast and a sublime ride. Yet call me vain, but I could not get over the appearance of it. If another one with a great paint job showed up I would jump on it. Silly, yes.
Bianchi Giro - No longer needed as a winter ride once I got the Poprad and a Panasonic PT-3500. This had that crunched tube on the frame. I tore it down for the parts and have the frameset stored in the garage
Meile Latina - Nice riding bike but never stood out amongst the other great rides.
Still listed locally for sale to make room:
Merckx Corsa 01 - I finally started appreciating this one more but I thought it would be easy to move on. Get's a lot of attention but no one has actually followed up with actually coming to see it.
Moser Leader Ax - Also getting its share of attention and questions. One buyer supposedly wanted just the frameset and then backed off when I asked to confirm before tearing it down.
Ideally I need to move on about 4 bikes to have the bike cave with enough room to store the remaining bikes. I like the bike cave to have all the bikes stored in such a way that I can grab any given bike without having to move others.
So that said, these are still on the bubble for possibly being put up for sale locally. I think....
Purple Paramount - Has been a great ride since being built up with a nice Dura Ace setup yet I could consider letting this one go.
Davidson Impulse - Has been a favorite for years but maybe it's time to let someone else enjoy it. This would be a hard decision. I also keep considering giving this one a modern build so who knows?
Colnago CT1 - This is so dang good on the ride. But I got it so cheap that I could sell it and even if it went cheap I'd still make some rare money off a sale.
Wayne Evans- This one is so good each time I take it out but it get's lost in the shuffle of all the other bikes. Still, how often do you get a bike from the likes of Bob Fourney? This one does fit 700 x 30 tires so it may sell easy in today's world.
Of course the reality is I do have room for all these bikes. To include the Andy Gilmour frameset I still have not built up due to a stuck BB I'm still dealing with. Now that I'm finally starting to ride again my feelings on letting some of them go may change. Or maybe other bikes will become less desirable. And thus ends this morning's ramblings.
