I am up on the other side of Ohio and have the same issue going on. I did a quick count and I have something like 17 bikes between the basement and the garage. These include my keeper/riders and bikes that I plan to flip or part out. The hard part is I look at too many of them and think 'That would really be great if I fixed it up and did...)

Just in the past few days I crossed the psychological barrier of stripping a really sweet riding bike down to sell for parts. It is the one I call my 'Cincinnati bike' since I got it on ebay and it was a pick up only from the Queen City. All Superbe Pro -- smooth and responsive. The funny thing is it was too nice a bike for me to ride.

I flipped a Centurion Le Mans that was in great shape and my size because the paint was so nice I knew that when (not if) I scratched it I would be annoyed. I am fixing up a similar era Le Mans with iffy aesthetics which I may keep. Nice ride and I don't have to worry about banging it up.

Oh and I have about 25 balloon tire and middle weight bikes in the attic above the garage.
