Sort of related to "Rivs in the Rafters", but started as a new thread here since there's little Riv content. And none in my rafters.
I have some tendency to hoard (my first and only Riv is in the building stage (S1)) and my wife tends to want to get rid of stuff. That makes for a good balance. A couple of weeks ago I went to an estate sale. I just happened to ride by and stopped in. Holy Crap! What an amazing collection of wonderful useless crap. It truly made me want to go home and throw something away. I remember something Grant wrote about the optimum number of bikes. It was at least seven. A go fast, touring, single speed, beater, one under repair, a loaner, I can't remember the rest. My bikes: Probably early 70s, French, Probably Mercier frame. Probably their closest thing to the Pugeot PX-10. The bare frame is hanging in the garage, stripped for parts about a year ago. It needs to go. 1986 Vitus 979. I've ridden it a lot recently. Even tried it with 26 inch wheels. I sort of like that!. The BB is a little bit low, but it's ridable. It's lovely, great components on it. It needs to go. Two 1986 Stumpjumpers, one "Sport" one regular. These have been my commuters for a while. My not yet completely assembled Simple One. I really need to consolidate down to fewer bikes. I can't ride them all and it's too much work to keep them all maintained. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
