[#2610641]

Just realised (to my shame!) that out of 7(+!) bikes, I only have 2 that are fully functional and able to be ridden (and even they have a couple of niggles that need fixing/tweaking)... really should sort this out, I know... ๐Ÿ˜ณ

How's it in your stable?

2 out of 6.

Although one is stripped to be sold so that improves the percentages a bit :mrgreen:

2 of 2, but I have a chest infection which is wiping me out even if I walk upstairs, so it's irrelevant for me...

4 out of 4. Ideally, 2 might need tyres blowing up a bit.

5 out of 6, and the one that doesn't work, kind of does, it just doesn't stay in gear and downshifts on its own. It wants me to go faster/harder/stronger!

Allez Allez Allez!

I hate my french bike.

Came home in a rush last night, picked up my singlespeed to go out to watch a local fell race, pumped up the tyres, fixed on the lights, jumped on to realise I'd nicked the chain off it about a month ago for my new Alfine bike which is at the shop atm, bugger!

Four out of four.

Downsizing the fleet has proved a wise move.

Depends what you mean by right now. 5 bikes between two of us. Does topping the tyres up count as right now? Does putting the wheels back in the frame count as right now? Does popping the chain back on with a quick link count as right now? Could be anywhere between 0 and 5 depending on answers to the above questions.

Well, exactly that really, "right now" meaning you can just grab the bike and go... guess we could allow 5 minutes for topping up tyres etc?

5/5 could be ridden but I'm not at home so they can't.

Bugger.

In that case, 5 out of 5. Being at work it would take me longer to get to them than it would to put them together. or if I was riding with the wife, I could get changed and put them together quicker than she could get changed.

Two and would just need a frame + finishing kit to have a third built up. Maybe it's time to build up a rigid SS with those bits!

1 from 4
2nd could be ready in about 5 minutes
3rd would take a few hours
4th would take a drunken night on ebay and a big credit card bill

4 out of 4 I finished building the Hustler on Saturday (had frame since October)

Would probably have to wash the mud off the downhill bike for that to work but, it is all in one piece ๐Ÿ™‚
