Title: Sensible Sized Collection. How many bikes do you think that is?
Post by: midschooljon on July 06, 2012, 08:00 PM
Im currently building 5 bikes, and have another 3 frames in waiting to get built up. Add to this my "rider" and the cupboard fill of bits I might need and Im starting to run out of space. There are a few more bikes I wouldnt mind owning but cant see it being "sensible" to add too many more to the collection. So here is the question... How many bikes do you think is "sensible" to have in your collection?

It will obviously be different for each person, but would be interesting to know none the less.  :daumenhoch:

I think any time you  have to stop and think, what is in each room and then count them - you might have more than a sensible sized collection  ;D

also depends if the wife is asking the question  :2funny:

Got to 13 completes but thinned it to 6 plus a couple of frames before I bought a new-school and realised i'd never ride old school on a ramp ever again. Kept an oldschool rider and an oldschool show then put all my spare guff on my old Ammaco frame so 4 seemed ok. Accidentally bought another f&f the other day as i'm an idiot..... Damn this hobby!

I started with one Mid school, which quickly became 4 and oh a 5th for my lad (cough cough) 3 pairs of mags, seat posts brakes etc etc....

I then sold everything off, got a sweet new school and of course one for my lad. I now spend a lot more time riding, learning and scaring the shite out of myself, rather than than tinkering.

i've always tried to keep 7 completes (which i narrowed down over years of riding to the best feeling bikes i've ridden) n switched n change em for racing but its just got to the point where im not gonna be able to give them all a go so i've wittled these down to 5 over the last month (4 o/s legal midschool n one n/s race bike), spent the money on guitars n now have 17 of them fookers, and they all ride shite  :LolLolLolLol:
