I'm having to work out what I want to keep as I'm moving in with my GF. Although technically there's room in the flat, I've had to carefully consider my choices.
Current:
Condor - nice everyday fixed
Giant TCR - road bike
Dawes CX thing - ...ummm sort of tourer
Dawes KinPin - propper pub bike beater
531 track - beater/rat (stripped at the moment)
Pretty much based on the replacement cost and how nice they are my planned stable is:
Condor - nice everyday fixed
Giant TCR - road bike
... but with the KinPin cheekily locked up outside for pub and shopping trips. It was so cheap it doesn't really matter if it gets nicked. Although I hope it doesn't.
Also when I really thought about it for the time I have available and my riding habits that's all I really need. The rest is just "wants".
Looking at buying somewhere that'll inevitably have less room than our current spare room + shed setup.
Current stable is:
531c CX bike
531 ST Raleigh Tourer
Don Brooks Road bike
853 HHSB/fixeh
French SLX Track bike
Concorde Everyday fixed bike
bikes in bits including many wheels and a few frames
I'd really like to get down to 3:
Fixed everyday/commuter
Track/best bike
Road/Audax/Light tourer. I rarely ride geared and when I do I think it'll be for longer trips I imagine. I've had a full tourer that's never been used so I'm debating making the CX 531 bike a light tourer as it has good clearances/cantis....
I also really, really don't want to sell my road bike as it has an awesome story. It just doesn't ever get used, unfortunately.
I really can't be arsed to sell bits individually - I just wish someone would buy the £1000 or so of stuff in one go.
Anyone fancy sharing a table at the next HH cycle jumble?
