As I get older and closer to 'kicking the bucket' I an getting more concerned with the enormous amount of bike stuff I will have collected over the years. I would like it to go to people who appreciate the stuff. My concern is that my wife, who will definately out last me, will be overwhelmed with the amount of bike related stuff and hire a huge rubbish skip and chuck everything into it. The stuff may be old but it is worth something.
My path is clear. I have 3 options:
1. Sell off everything.
2. Put together as many complete bikes a possible and store, categorize and catalogue the rest of the stuff with estimations of its worth.
3. Just go out to the shed and get a bike out and go for a ride every time this thought pops into my head.
Which path should I take?
