Try "The Bike Doc." I dabble on Craigslist occasionally, and I enjoy doing small repairs for any local C&V folk who need it.

Thank you for sharing the pictures, also for your contributions here and wish I was local to your share your hands-on experience.

Sure, why not?

Your old triplizer is on the first crankset on the left! As you can now see, I don't believe in a clean and orderly work bench, a lifetime problem.

As it should be! But hey, you have cranksets hanging up all nice and orderly.. thats too organized!

Cranksets:

Heck - I would be mighty satisfied if I had only one Paramount and 100 NR cranksets on the wall

Dirty workbench? You don't want to see mine (though it is about to be changed).

-Kurt

Can't see all the parts on the workbench, or most of the stuff hanging from the rafters, but you get the idea...

all I have to say is can anyone say obsessive compulsive???

Kurt you need a girlfriend

Human companionship = high maintenance. I'm a loner, and I'm not too social (except when discussing topics that I am trained on - otherwise, many might say I am distant, though cordial).

I've only got the four bikes....

The two mid-80s road bikes that I'll be making one good bike out of:


The frame on the red Nishiki Olympic 12 is bent from an accident this February, and the frame is about the only good thing on the blue Schwinn World Sport so I plan to strip the Schwinn frame, repaint it, and transfer the components from the Nishiki over to it.

Then there's my commuter, a Nishiki Sport XRS, hanging over my car:


And The Old Gentleman, my 1966 Raleigh DL-1, doesn't get hung up; it's too danged heavy!


I'm busier with finishing reflooring my living room and hopefully getting the Christmas tree up soon, so sadly The Old Gentleman is getting kind of buried.

Hah!, I have ONE bike and ONE frame set and my wife thinks thats the limit.... I am so showing here this thread. Nice collections!

Yeah, well, one is the limit with my wife too. She's not too pleased with me right now.

A picture says a thousand words.

Nice composition.

Sadly, notice the clean workbench. I really don't like working out in my garage when it is 20F.



And the other bikes of my meager 6 bike collection are hibernating in the rafters.

hanging upside down like that they look like bats.

Ooooh, I see a death fork in that picture!

Don't worry. I used to have a limit too.

I hate you all, and your stupid, stupid bike collections.



Just Kidding.

I am only limited by storage space. I gotta make more room at my office/warehouse.

If they'd only eat mosquitoes like bats.

Yup. I feel in peril just having it in the garage.

I am limited by my wallet and my admittedly limited mechanic skills. But I am having fun learning.

My favorite bike shop, Bike Club in Falls Church VA


Bike storage rack, there are 5 bikes on the lower part


I also have a closet full of parts and an under stair area full of about 15 wheelsets. Not bad for a 700 sq/ft 2 story row house...

My wife USED to think that way...until I introduced her to some guys that have 80+ bikes So my 20 something collection didn't look so bad after all BTW 3 are hers

Okay, I'm inspired to reveal pics of the inner sanctum and to give significant others worldwide some relief that their basements don't look like this:

The south wall:


The north wall:


Next to the furnace:


An overflow problem:


Tools have to go somewhere:


This used to be a shower:


The back room (which also has my homebrewing supplies):


Another messy workbench:


One more:

There is something about every single one of these workshop photos that makes me feel warm and comfy inside. Maybe I am nuts.

The workshops are as much a part of the hobby as the bike...

-Kurt

I always love these threads. Here is some of my chaos that is the basement "shop". Shot of some of the personal rides:


Pegboard:


workbench, really messy right now since I was working on building some bike polo mallets for our local game:


Wheels and stuff across back wall:


Frames, bikes, and wheel storage. The Frig took away some storage space.


Some wheel storage:


There are more shop photos on my Flickr workshop page. The workshop is undergoing a long remodel. I got some work benches from one of the LBS and first need to wire and insulate a wall before I can bring them down. Over the insulation will be a sheet of plywood with all of my tools nailed to it for easy access and way to much organization.
