I've got rid of quite a lot over the years and it becomes easier. There's only one bike that, in hindsight, I regret selling. It was a racing bike from the 50's, a Rensch, my first ever expensive, 'proper' racing bike, as opposed to mass made bikes just having drop bars like my previous bikes.
As I've got older my priorities have changed and I have realised they are just metal/plastic/rubber items that can be replaced - except my Rensch
