Thanks chaps, I posted this while drunk last night but have woken up realising it rings true (in vino veritas and that).
This is about where I am at the moment: http://i.imgur.com/oqwatjR.jpg
Don Brooks, Maxi Sports and wife's Raleigh are staying - the rest is probably going.
That Bill Nickson is built up as a CX bike here http://i.imgur.com/8V3Hx7I.jpg
I'm just waiting for some gear cables, then I'll decide what I'm doing with it.
With regards to the 'longer distances, I think' you're totally right. My tourer has sat there for 2 years waiting for when I can convince some others to come on a tour with me, but it's never happened. I'm a teacher so have 6/7 weeks off for summer but bike packing might indeed be the way forward.
So up for sale or coming up for sale very soon:
Raleigh Randonneur, 600 running gear, LX/XT wheels (56cm)
Graham Weigh 853 track F & F (54cm)
Graham Weigh 853 road F & F (52cm)
Bob Jackson 700C lo pro - bent, and with a stuck seatpost
Bill Nickson 531c CX - possibly full bike
'Herne Hill' road/fixie conversion frame 56cm
And for free:
Peugeot Carbolite frame and forks
Full chinese beater bike
Fuck me, I can almost see why my wife says I have too many...
