These are beautiful bikes. It’s good that you’re content with the journey you are on. That is not an easy transition for many.

Have you talked to your extended family?
Brothers, sisters, inlaws, sons, daughters, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, etc?
I'd have to think that there would be someone in your family that would cherish Gramp's bikes.
Of course, realize they may or may not get every day use, and may get some wear. But, that may be part of it.

So just as a wrap up, the Falcon, Shogun and Trek are sold and in new homes. Thanks Andy and Adam.
The GT mtb is listed for sale, locally & here.
I have decided to keep the Romic and "geriatric it up".... lower gearing, platform pedals, fatter tires, comfy saddle and maybe VO thumb shifters (or IRD).
Thanks for everyone's words of encouragement, advice and general good will.
Oh, and I sold all my homegrewing equipment this week as well!

That's actually one of the few British bikes on my radar if it was in my size. They are few and far between. That and a Pat Hanlon I think.
