Step One: Admit you have a problem......
 

Sunday was lovely, most of Thursday's snow had melted. My better half 'suggested' that it was the perfect time to clean out the barn, put away the canoe and kayaks, hang up the bikes, and get ready for winter, It was only after I installed half a dozen new hooks that I realized just how bad it was:

Problem? I still see several bare rafters with no hooks.

The only problem I see is you need a bigger barn. :D

The barn is only half-full. ...but then I'm an optimist

The bad part is having to put away the canoes and kayaks due to snow! The good part is that you'll have a busy winter with all the bike projects.

Scott

if you sell the wheelbarrel you can buy more hooks. then sell the canoe and kayak and buy more bikes *giggle*

That doesn't look bad at all.

Your problem lies in the fact that there are too many modern MTB's and hybrids on those hooks, and not enough C&V. :p

Problem? What problem?

I see part of the problem. If you alternate front wheel, rear wheel, you can hang your bikes twice as close together...

I dont see a problem. If ACE runs out of hooks Menards will have them.

I don't see the white garage door for photographing your bikes in front of. That might be a problem.

I don't see a big box in the garage addressed to me with lots of odds and ends and Campagnolo sticking out of it.

Well, you're halfway there; throw away all that junk in the back there and you'll have loads more room!:)

Dang the snow that makes us put the bikes up on hooks in the first place! :notamused:

Or maybe you need a several of us New England C&Vers to come by and alleviate you of this particular challenge in life? :innocent:

About half of that wrack and welter are dump bikes to be worked up over the winter and flipped in the spring. There are 4 early '60s 3-speeds in there as well (Dunelt, Rodin Hood, Raleigh Sports, and a Schwinn of some sort)
And all the ATBs are pre-'93 or so. That IS C&V by mountain bike standards!

I prefer a more pastoral backdrop:

Nor will you. Never in my life have I owned ANYTHING Campagnolo.

Roger that!

Thats why I started selling of alot of my parts....when you run out of room or have to buy more storage hooks.....

Don't speak too soon, he most likely have the more precious C&Vs in his living room.........like I do!

Agreed. Garage doors are boring.

Does your wife know you're actively seeking advice from enablers?

With winter coming you need a ski equipment barn.

I'm not seeking advice, I'm just kvetching. I'm quite comfortable with my little problem.
Now, if I could just leave the booze alone........:D

So, what is Step Two then?

Hump? what hump?

but wheres the toolbox, work bench, space heater and kegerator? I thought this was the living room. no?

n+1 :D

Barns are cool...

I am not sure if I have a problem, but a guest was suprised to see this the other day when she stepped into the powder room.

I agree with your guest. You should have put the hosiery away before they used the bathroom. Other than that, looks fine to me.

TOP, you certainly DO have a problem. Fortunatley, there is a solution. You need to buy more bikes. 50 or 60 usually does the trick for me.
We all need to be prepared for the massive shortage of bikes that the economists are predicting.

+1 There is still room for a couple more frames and wheelsets, etc. And you might want to put a set of shelves there to store misc components. I see a lot of sq footage still available for more stuff!
