Why do you keep selling your awesome bikes?

Itchy feet/bike anxiety

Searching for that perfect bike that clearly doesn't exist :(

Go custom. Make all your dreams come true (at least that's what I hope it'll do).

I would be verrrry interested in the mudguards if you’d be open to taking them off? I have the exact same bike with a 650B setup and have been after a set for a while 👌🏻 No worries if not but thought I’d ask! Can collect with cash

that clearly doesn't exist :(

Yet...

I’d take the rims and king in the unlikely event of a split

Really interested in this. I live in Hackney too - any chance I can have a look?

This setup looks a lot like what I am looking for, however I might be a bit too tall for the frame size. If it hasn’t been sold yet I would love to take a look this weekend.

There is no such thing as the perfect bike; you need 8 bikes that you're 90% happy with ;)

Doesn’t exist.

Trust.

Doesn’t exist.

True.

Keep the rad bike.

It does. They are 6 bikes.

I reckon 6 is actually a pretty spot on number - I currently have 3 and could see the practicalities in having slight variations of each of those to fill a hyper-specific gap that each of the three 85% cover, yet leave that itch for the other 15% of specificity.....

There really is no 100% everything bike.

I'll take the frame, headset, stem and seatpost if you want to split. Can pick it up tonight or any other night if you're based in London.

Groupset - Shimano 105 5700 11 speed

Looks like 5800 :)

Any more pics? I'm kinda tempted....

this conversation is comforting me so much. thanks guys!
@mk1mark PM!

Seems like I have many - but they're more or less all the same.
