Thank you for posting! Yes, many of us are into this kind of thing. It's why my household has double the number of bikes as people... I've accumulated bikes over time that I bought cheap, but can't stand to part with. I have two that I primarily ride -- a 2015 Trek Verve 3 and a 1997 Trek MultiTrack 750. Each of my kids has 1-2 bikes, and my wife has 1, but I have an '84 Schwinn World Sport that I recently picked for 20 bucks that may or may not stay in the household. I currently have it built up like a hybrid (with trekking bars)...but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this bike...keep or sell.
This is half of the fun of biking to me -- building various projects for myself and others.
