How do these build up?

I guess this is what I get for spending the day organizing all of my bike parts. Does this mean I need to buy some more frames to build up?

Don't worry, I have plenty of brake levers too!

@mgopack42 - your new handle could be 'shortreach'.
@mpetry912 - your new handle could be 'clamp-on'.

There is a point where a collection turns to obsession.
You are several stages past that.

Maybe the original poster should offer to swap some parts for a frame or two ... just a thought.

I have too many frames / project bikes, even though some of you will claim that is not possible.
