Afraid this is all I can muster

You want bikes in VOLUME ....



.. admittedly this guy was renting them out - he had just over 2,000 Schwinn Cruisers with cow-horn bars, back-pedal brake and fat sand tyres (at Hilton Head in South Carolina) ... absolutely awful to ride unless you were on the beach.

I thought it was Pam and Dave Pilbeam's garage for a second

I don't see any cardboard boxes So it can't be the Pilbeam's garage

One hopes that Madame will be most circumspect and discreet about the location of the SEEKRIT BUNKER.

Or at least make sure its got a great big **** OFF! lock on it to prevent the local scrotes from making off with one's velocipedes.

I'll have to come out of the closet ... pic was taken in Jan 04 when "stock" was at 16 ... now down to about 12 I think - I'll get a new pic later, whilst it's sunny here.



... if you can't count 16, that's because 1 is on a turbo in my office, 1 is folder and a couple are in bits (there's a red frame glinting on the far left)

This was pre-trike ... which takes up a bit of space on the floor

... and the workshop/tools area



[All this is in a 2/3rds size garage - the back wall was put in to form a store-room in the house ... for all the other bike stuff  ]

Hello and thank you! Why a thank you? Well my wife has been shown all these pictures and this was the one that saw defeat! She now realizes that I am not alone!!!!!

We have a garden full

I don't have a garden or garage 
I guess I'm the only one that have 5 bikes in my living room.

What's the red MTB? (To the left of the spiky pot plant...) They look like some very old school rockshox on the front!

[Sigurd Mudtracker]

I've still got more than you    though I am too paranoid by far to post a photo of them in situ...  I do use the same wall-hangers, though!  Delta Leonardo if I'm not mistaken.


(mind you, I think some of yours are in better condition than some of mine)

This one?



The one with the extremely rare Halson Inversion fork?



That's the wife's . . .

Well, we do have two (and a frame/forks) in the dining room, and two in the kitchen...

The collection at Chez C:




Actually, there are a couple missing. I shall have to go and find out where they are....

[Luke]

Fitted some new forks.

Madame has a variety of security measures, both visible and non-visible to prevent the aforementioned scrotes gaining possession of our bicycles.  The location of the SEEKRIT BUNKER is known only to a select number of initiates and rest assured, we have Much In-Sewer-Ants.

I'm also considering a dirty great big length of chain to run through all the bike frames in order to secure them to the wall.

What we don't have is a shadow board for our tools.  I think all good workshops need a shadow-board.  That may have to be one of this winter's little projects

Nah, you want to go the high tech route, webcam and GSM phone module, it records any moving images, and emails the jpegs to you.  Of course you may just get a lot of footage of the local rats.

I have four bikes in my living room/bedroom (they are one and the same). Two are Rob's and he is supposed to be taking the less-used one to live at his mum's...so far no sign of this. Ho hum.

I have a garden but it's not secure enough for my liking so they stay inside with me.

Tonight we were messing about with lights...

[rogerzilla]

Nope, can't see the dolphins in that last one.

[Woofage]

Fitted some new forks.  

What forks did you go for? I've got Rockshox Toras on my Inbred which are OK but don't give the sharp handling that I had with rigid forks.

[Regulator]

Fitted some new forks.  

Errr... the forks are supposed to be fitted to front of the bike and are normally made of metal...

They're these. So far so good. The loss of the suspension doesn't seem to have held me back over the weekend, but that was fairly tame terrain.

Really? No wonder it took so long to get the star nut in...

How do you fit them all in that shed 

[clarion]

I must post my photo of nutty's shed as an example if space usage...

[Torslanda]

They fit in here.
