Of course I buy parts...
I might need them someday.

It happens here when a nice bike has been crashed and goes up for sale for pennies on the dollar. The parts become the stash (or bins) and they add up. I don't go looking for parts but some come up from time to time in unusual places like our habitat store, where two pairs of $30 pedals showed up for $3. Who would resist? Smiles, MH

I guess I'm in the minority here. I sold off most of my spare parts. I now have about an extra hour (or two) a day to ride, instead of searching eBay for parts. I store mostly consumables, i.e. tires, tubes, chains, etc. That said, I probably have enough parts left to build one bike. But, I sold all my extra frames, so I have nothing to put them on.
