Chime in if you still float about in here
McQUEEN:
I popped in today. So much better than FB.

Well that's it fellas. I am now pretty much bikeless.
I have kept my S&M NBD in case I ever fancy a go, as well as my pink Schwinn, GT race bike and the Supergoose. Everything else is gone. About 20 sets of tyres, 3 sets of wheels, 11 bikes and a F ton of spares and bits.
About 3 weeks ago my boiler blew up. Thankfully I live in rented accommodation but it turned into a nightmare. I had 8 bikes in the way of it (it is a smallish thing inside a cupboard in my bathroom, totally blocked by bikes). Turns out the upper heater shorted and needed replacing. However, I had to get everything out of there. So I had 8 bloody bikes in my bedroom. Which tbh? was so dangerous I had to jump ship and come to my mother's until it was all fixed.
It was virtually hoarding tbh. I don't know why or how I let it get so bad but yeah, the whole lot is pretty much gone from my flat now and the loft here at mum's is pretty much empty.
And holy F does it feel amazing :LolLolLolLol:
It is odd because I painted the Sunday water melon last summer. Literally right at the end of it. I then stashed away everything to turn it into a bike but when May came around and the sun came out? the spark was gone. Just completely gone. It was time.
So the collection is now on its way to rural France. With someone who appreciates it as much as I used to :)

That’s big move but if you’re happy that’s all that matters dude fistblump
Hopefully you’ll still be dropping in here from time to time. Do me a favor though, please add some finished pics of your Battletech to the thread. That beast was f ing awesome. I gulped when I read it didn’t stay with you. All of your builds, posts and content have been fantastic to follow, kudos for all the effort, time and love you put into your bikes.
Look after yourself mate.
Stay RAD :slayer:

Oh yeah I will still stop by dude. It was starting to reach hoarder levels, though. To the point where it was more of a burden than anything else. If anything happens (god bless her) to my mum I would have been absolutely bang in trouble. Fact is I could not shift them all on my own with my arthritis being as bad as it is now.
I still have the feather too, though I did not even ride it once this summer as I was battling a few infections. I did upgrade the cranks on it though to some 5dev knock offs. They look super.
Mikku:
Fair play mate! I try not to hoard but find myself regretting sales when I subsequently need the part that I sold!! ;D
However, I know that I need to offload a bike or three, so will pull my finger out and try to get on with it, though Trump's tariffs have kiboshed shipping to the US at the moment. Thumbs down
