What a great collection :smitten: I'm liking the candy apple.
I would have a load more bikes if I had a room like that to put em all in. That's what happens when you have too many kids you end up without a spare room :-\

We've got a shed at the bottom of the garden as well, I could use that.
It flooded the other week so if I make em sleep on blow up beds they should just float if it happens again :daumenhoch:

Sorted. Now you're getting the hang of good parenting. Toughens them up.

they are very nice mate, loving the trickstar :4_17_5:

Thanks again for all the comments...thought you might like to see this...it was the first build-up of the Trickstar.
I searched for NOS Gold Tech 3 levers for ages...then decided I needed silver! Arrrggghhh! I also felt it really needed 3-piece...a first time for me and old school, as I much prefer 1pc to make it an 'everyday' day build.

And of course to Pete for hooking me up time and time again - you's a good lad.
