Okay, that's it. 7 bikes, most of them half-broken, most of them made out of cheap second hand bits, at least 2 of them being moved along sooner or later.

Edit: forgot to add, list of wheels I need to build up - I have all the rims and a few hubs, but the Novatecs are too expensive for me right now
- 26" dynamo wheel for Marin
- probably will build a matching 26" rear
- 2× 650b WTB KOM, 32h, probably with Novatec D041/2SB because they come in silver and cheap
- 2× 650b Mavic something or other, 32h, with Novatec D791/2SB for my girlfriend
- 650b Mavic something or other, 36h, on that Shimano coaster hub

Yep. I think I might be a hoarder

Edit:

Compulsive hoarding, also known as hoarding disorder, is a behavioral pattern characterized by excessive acquisition of and an inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of the home and cause significant distress or impairment. Compulsive hoarding behavior has been associated with health risks, impaired functioning, economic burden, and adverse effects on friends and family members. When clinically significant enough to impair functioning, hoarding can prevent typical uses of space [...] Compulsive hoarders may be aware of their irrational behavior, but the emotional attachment to the hoarded objects far exceeds the motive to discard the items.

Oh no
