    So Christmas is drawing nearer and my home is still a pile of bike parts. And in the spirit of Christmas and the New Year, I might as well try a fresh start on this thread and the sorting process in general...

    The original list of bikes/frames was this:

    1. Kona Unit: Need three wheels built - SS rear, geared read and a front.
      Wheels have been built and it's now geared and complete. Needs a chainring and cassette swap at some point and I've got a new Thomson stem for it.
    2. Asmussen Max frame: There's a Rival group with Apex shifters with white paddles somewhere along with a black ITM Eclypse and a random black seatpost, so I guess I'm just missing a 26.0 black compact drop.
      The ITM Eclypse was sold as part of a complete bike, so it's still missing stem and handlebars.
    3. Merckx: A quite light (1850 grams with a shit powdercoat job) 58 square frame, that's probably going to be paired with a NOS Time Featherlight 1".
      The integrated crown race on the Featherlight only worked with hard-to-source needle bearing headsets and the one I had didn't fit. Sold the fork, and a Mizuno 1" carbon fork showed up. Still not sure if I want to keep it.
    4. Faggin: Again a nice, vintage frame with a horrible, homemade paintjob. @Hulsroy has given me a nice 1" carbon fork with a Faggin pantographed crown, so this will probably get a nice paintjob and the Dura Ace 7600 groupset that is in bedroom pile.
      The Dura Ace group - which turned out to be a 7700 - has been sold.
    5. GT Aero Edge: Nice frame with great paint and original forks. Will be sold.
      Hasn't been sold. Will probably put it up for sale come spring.
    6. Gold BMX frameset: I've been thinking about making some sort of ridiculous shopper out of it with trispoke and silly bars.
      I've bought a second trispoke for this one, so Project Ridiculous Shopper is still going ahead.
    7. Pompetamine: I've got a nice black Pompetamine standing in the bedroom. Just need to get the brake hoses sorted and then it's ready for some commuting. There's a Wald basket for it as well somewhere.
      After building it up with mudguards and Kojaks and commuting on it for a while, it got turned into a SSCX. Weighs in at 11,8kgs.
    8. GT Pantera AL: My current beater. Need to pick it up from a friends house, where I left it when I went to the A&E to get my broken jaw and concussion sorted. Might need a few tweaks after that tumble. Watch out for runners...
      SOLD!
    9. Marin Muirwood: Wanted to convert it to 20" front with a huge rack, but that's not gong to happen anytime soon. Will strip it fully and store it for future use.
      SOLD!
    10. Pinnacle Arkose: Has a Rotor/Raceface narrowwide setup with hydraulic Rival brakes. Most of the parts will go on the new frame I'm having built, so this will get a 1x10 Force group with Spyres.
      Built up with the Rotor/Rival stuff. Nice for CX and winter training.
    11. Fuji Track: Wanted to build a fixed tt bike. Am not going to ride a fixed tt bike. Will be stripped and sold.
      Found a crack in the seattube and to the skip it went...
    12. Bellabike cargo bike: It's missing wheels and the rear fork. Needs to go.
      Still takes up way to much space in my garage. Might get turned into a soundsystem bike at one point...
    13. Bianchi: Slightly ratty Bianchi frame, with a nice and sparkly red paintjob. Need to find a matching fork and the build it and sell it.
      NOS chrome fork has been acquired along with coaster hub wheelset, gumwalls and mudguards. Will be build up and sold.
    14. Dolan Pre Cursa: Going on a long term loan to @Hulsroy in London. He'll get some parts as well and might have it painted at some point.
      Has since returned from London and is now dressed up in silver parts and stupid wheels. Might get build up as a SS winter trainer, as I have the parts.
