Is stupid having so many bikes, idealy I only want 4 (sounds a bit silly when people are starving in Africa!)

A light racer — my Planet X number
A pretty one — the Guvnor plus 4
A mountain Bike — Cannondale jobbie
A clunker for that station and town rides — A pashley sovereign without the guards etc
…maybe a folder for holidays, currently an Airnimal (soon to be sold in favour of a rebuilt kingpin (maybe), I like the fatter tyres for general holiday-ness)

At present I still have

A dawes kindpin stripped down
A 531 raleigh royale (my old clunker)…thinking of turning it into a pashley clubman type clone

loved building her though be a shame to see it go…guess I could always make another.

Hope i recoup some of the money too…gulp, we’ll see

Plus Four no. 4 :)

Blimey me old chap… you spent almost £700 building her !!!… Lovely bike, have 5 fillies in the stable at present… would love to make it six with that little BSA beauty of yours, but the value is a little rich even for my madness.…

… out of interest my fillies are…

The Guvnor {for the summer… for gentlemen outings… for gentlemens sportives}

A Specialized Roubaix Expert {my sportive bike, for when I’m really trying}

A Specialized Tricross Sport {winter road/off road, toepaths, go anywhere bike}

A Charge Racer {single speed/fixie… winter/bad weather training bike}

A Specialized Allez {first road bike, now spends her retirement hooked up to a turbo trainer in the garage as a dedicated exercise bike}

Dang, sold the orange bike on ebay, the dude turned up and it was too big for him. Thankfully he slung me £20 for the effort, he was really nice so i didnt make much noise. Gonna do a big ebay day again soon.

Bit of a pain but still have the old girl
