As for me, I am at least inspired if not to get rid of a lot of bikes, then to move along a lot of entirely usable bottles.
But I do have at least one bike heading out the door soon - see https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...l#post23222081 .

This reminds me, I have a whole kitchen cabinet shelf like this. They must multiply like cockroaches when you shut the door.

The Dura Ace FD purchased in 1974 as the only available replacement to a trashed Simplex surfaced as did some NR cranks tgat had been languishing since the introduction of 130 bcd cranks with their luxurious 39t inner ring

I am now selling another bike. The Raleigh and small Medici are gone. It takes a while because these are really nice bikes and the market isn’t very good right now . I was very pleased with the offer I got on the Raleigh so we’ll see. I’ve already had some interest on this one. I would rather donate than sell too cheap. The Campy stuff that are on these bikes will sell , I just hate to break down an original seventies bike and donate the frame .

Well, yesterday was a was. My friend stopped over with the remainder of the parts for the (ho ho ho) Green Giant. It turned out great! One more home.
He also grabbed this curbfind my wrenching enjoyment. I think it’s a 1996 withfull CrMo Aluminum frame. Might be an organ donor and frame saved for a rainy day project.

Finally. A step closer to some actual reduction of inventory. Close to having one frame ready to move out Austro Daimler SLC 58 c to c. Need to locate its fork. I know it’s here somewhere…..

Not yet. Plan was to offer this up once I see if I can find all the bits. It’s an AD of an era that has some quirks that I want to make sure I spell out before I post.
A restoration of a bike of the same era is here, and describes some of the features that are unique to this vintage

Another one donated for 8 gone with one "on deck" for the next trip to the LBS, that will be NO.9 so far. "Dave", the '67 Varsity, is on FB Marketplace and Big Bird will be listed soon.

Partial progress. My most modern bike (Trek 520) has been deboned and is ready for cleaning and sale.
It is a nice bike but not as *fun* as my older bikes.
Dunno what I will do with the wheels.

Wish I was taller or that frame was smaller. Sigh

Baby Steps.
I have an old film can with misc. ball bearings —some a little rusty—kept in case…
I just emptied the can into the trash and it felt good. 😊
