  • 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:

    1. Condor - nice everyday fixed
    2. Giant TCR - road bike
    3. Dawes CX thing - ...ummm sort of tourer
    4. Dawes KinPin - propper pub bike beater
    5. 531 track - beater/rat (stripped at the moment)

    Pretty much based on the replacement cost and how nice they are my planned stable is:

    1. Condor - nice everyday fixed
    2. 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?
