I think many of us have now realized what a pain in the butt this is! We sold a few bikes and now the garage is down to 19 bikes. And I look around at some of the bikes and think, I only rode that bike once last year... Some of the bikes are cool, but I probably wouldn't miss them. I could easily live with 3 bikes.

My wife doesn't want me to, incase I change my mind after a few months and think I need to start building up a collection again!Jeromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984978420642327867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33160781.post-86906247165937684852010-08-20T11:21:12.309-06:002010-08-20T11:21:12.309-06:00Guess my idea is not helping to thin the herd -- I...Guess my idea is not helping to thin the herd -- I'm in a bit of a herd building mode myself.

I guess I kind of got hung up on the fact that I had these wheels built up with a Paul Fixed/free hub in the rear. Components were kind of important when I built this up. I never gave any thought to a coaster brake......hmmmm....thanks a bunch for the idea! Although, this might hamper me trying to cull down the herd.

I'm not a fixie aficionado, but I do appreciate the clean lines -- this may be heresy, but would switching to a coaster brake in back be a fair compromise?Cycling For Beginnershttp://www.cyclingforbeginners.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33160781.post-51721219206860993252010-08-20T06:41:10.899-06:002010-08-20T06:41:10.899-06:00Looks like your are successfully sustaining the si...Looks like your are successfully sustaining the simplification initiative...congrats!Ponderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042079750126434523noreply@blogger.com
