Have been 'sorting' out my garage and was looking over my bike collection. In there at the back is my single speed last used at D2D. It is quite well spec'd up, so do I keep & use it once/twice a year or sell ?

Whats the thoughts out there

if its quite well specced it probably cost a fair bit of wedge, i would keep it.
1-2 times a year use is ok if you are happy with it id say.

I have an unused kona paddy wagon AND an unused Genesis Croix De Fer in my garage. My newly pimped out Enduro ( new forks, stem, bars, shock, crank and brakes) is also unused since the pimping took place

Nicolai Argon FR and Endorfin VP4-R SL both get little use. Nothing wrong with them, just prefer to ride my 456.

Kona A. Absolutely loved riding it, but pinched the fork for something else. Big mistake!

I've only ridden my 853 Genesis framed MTB about 4 times in the last 18 months - the last time was last July. Kinda wondering about recycling the stuff yet again, to build a Surly Troll ...

got a 25lb ellsworth epiphany that rarely gets used, a custom scandal 29er that's a spare and an old voodoo hoodoo that lives on the turbo trainer.

I had a big cull of bikes 18months ago and think it may be time to do so again.

I may just end up with 2 bikes ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

a singlespeed and a 29er boingy

Got a roadrat that has sat unused since I changed jobs last year and had to start commuting by car instead of bike. Probably time to move it on.

Never had a BMX as a kid so perhaps I'll replace it with one.

Lapierre 920 DH

See how much use it gets this year, then it may be gone. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

not much point owning a bike you never ride IMHO and a SS can be made by simply removing gears x2 a year you feel like it
Suppose it depend show much space and money you have

i go through phases. Commuter is the only one that little use - at the moment. But then sometimes I use it loads for a period.

I have this at the back of the garage and keep turning down offers to sell it! I never ride it, it just sits there!
What do you think?
GT LTS1000 year 1998.
A very expensive bike back then!

I've always got rid of the bikes I never rode, It use to wind me up seeing them just sitting they're collecting dust. Always thought it was better to let someone else enjoy them and me have some extra money through selling them.

tk46hal, I almost bought one back in '98 but went for a Trek Y instead. Wish I'd have gone for the GT. Still love the look of the LTS ๐Ÿ˜›
