You are welcome, but it's a public forum. Until you do something that is considered too egregious a disregard of the forum rules we are stuck with you! So again welcome.
A great majority of active members are from the US and probably Canada not far behind. But you do have to be aware that on a daily basis you might browse a post from someone elsewhere in the world. So what might seem a proper answer to a question for someone in the USA might not be a good or proper answer for elsewhere.

You only have four bikes???? Well ... we will let you in on a trial basis.
Fifty-plus is a safe forum. People here will treat you mostly as if we were all at least partly human. (Confession ... i am indeed partly human.)
I'd like to know which bikes you are keeping and why?
The bigger issue .. which I cannot even begin to ponder ... is, How can anyone get rid of a bike?? Let's leave that for a later discussion.
Oh, and never take anything I say seriously.
What kind of Fuji?

Made it to 84 WHOOPIE
Welcome from an 83-year-old who rides older bikes with his wife who is 85 when they can. We also swim and walk and live in Colorado. Enjoy the forum.

CZ75 is new, he probably doesn't know that the proper number of bikes to own is n+1 where n is how many you have now. I suppose you might have to get rid of one if n=d, but that's only theoretical.

From other threads I've read and my own experience, n+1 might be dying out. Since getting my Tarmac, my other bikes just sat. So I got rid of them. Still didn't help free up much if any space in my garage that can't be used as a garage!

Shot through the "charcoal" (metallic brown) Bianchi, with the two Capo Siegers behind me.

CZ75 I am with you on paring down. Been paring down on bikes for a year or two, and now I just have to get ride of parts. Its a process, believe you me!
