I plan to keep all them! However I wouldn't mind letting my Escape' go but the wheels cost me almost as much as the bike did new and it is completely reworked. I don't ride it much and would like to get to an all 700c fleet.
The problem is the wheels are nice but nothing fancy, shipmano STX Parallax bronze hubs laced to Campagnolo Zark MTB rims, with DT 14/15 spokes. The would great for a dropbar conversion.

If I understand right, and I probably don't, this question is: "Show us all your bikes except for the ones you'll pass on this year."
I'm tempted to answer the wrong way and post pictures of the ones I might move on. But I might not move any on, so I'll just say you've seen all my bikes (well, maybe not, but I've posted them), and I'm keeping all of them.

Given the effort required to sell them, and the dealing with low ballers, I'll likely be keeping all of them.
In a perfect world, I'd like to move on from the Rudge Pathfinder, the Palo Alto mustache bar Rivendell'esque build, the De Rosa Titanio, the Steve Bauer Merckx, and the 753 SBDU Raleigh (built for Connie Carpenter).

Keeping them all for now, but several frames may go to the co-op, once I've removed the useful parts.

In 2020 my Gazelle Team ForelDorado from 1995 will be joined by a Gazelle Team ForelDorado-Golff from 1996. The build up will start in January once the frame gets back to my from a frame builder fixing some issues. So those 2 will not be sold. Also my Gazelle Special from 1996 will remain in use. And a newly bought Gazelle Criterium from 1995 will not be sold, but get a complete repaint and a NOS Shimano 600 Ultegra groupset.

oooops.
Still do.
It has morphed into an overbuilt all road bike.
I have Rock n' Roads on it, well at least I did last fall. Didn't quite fit when the tires were muddy, so I swapped them for slightly narrower GravelKings. They roll better on hardpack anyway. imho
I also put a Wall basket on the front after I picked up a Swift Sugarloaf bag on PL.
Also, I forgot to mention my McLean Perfect Pleasure. Such a neat bike, but I'm almost afraid to ride the darn thing.

Stable of 39. No deduction. At this point it doesn't really matter and no one knows what's coming in or going. Might trip over a shipping box or two at the door. He-he. Bikes of every color... " honey. I'll be at the shop painting today"....
Though not counting the lot of junior and donor mtb bikes. Probably 8 or 9, regretfully I hadn't finished some for the kids, neighborhood at need - Christmas.
After the above, need to finish 7 others. Ridiculous, I know.
