I agree with Leaf Slayer, sell the Bombadil and Sequoia. Of course, I'm the guy who keeps bikes just for the sake of keeping them, that I never ride. I have 3 that should leave, really: my mountain bike from college (25 years ago) that's way too small, my tandem that is way too small, and my garage project fixie, I never ride them. I have another one coming this week, a Clem Smith Jr.
On another note, the love for the Saluki is palpable. I think Rivendell should wake this model up from it's sleep if possible.
