I have an illness..

[Anonymous]

So, I just recently bought a frame to repaint and build up... even though I already have a project bike... and do you think I could just leave it at that, and be content with the number of bikes I have?

Noooo... why would I possibly do a sane thing like that?

So, I am now the proud owner of a seafoam green and white ladies Hawthorne that I just couldn't pass up, and I'm seriously wondering where the heck I'm going to put this thing as we're up to our eyebrows in bikes now. Why oh why must I be so insatiable for bikes?

Do they offer any kind of counselling for this illness? :roll:

I know what you mean... I am actually new to the bike collecting action, I only have a few right now. But I keep picking up bikes thinking I will sell them or part them out, but then I get too attached! I actuallly wanted to part out my RRBBO bike, but that soon changed.

Its fun though, definitley the coolest form of junking that I've known.

It was gorgeous... I didn't get too up close and personal with it, but if I had had the money I would fully have nabbed it. The red accents on the black and white frame a beautiful. A worthy buy for sure... actually, when I saw it I thought of you and was going to direct you to it.

If I'd known you were interested I would have taken her for a spin! :roll:

I don't have a bike problem

I fix it
I ride it
Then I buy another one...
No problem :mrgreen:

My girlfriend and I are co-dependent. We talked ourselves into buying a Flying Pigeon this week.

I feel yer pain !
I am like the Pied Piper of yard sale junkers...
They follow me home.
I do have some completes but enuff parts to build at
least three more bikes. There are so many apart that I really
dont know what parts came from what anymore.
This is compounded by some of the parts being from 2 Peugeots
I start project with good intentions but never follow through.
Here in VT the winter has kept adding to the landfill minimal, but
the weather s getting warm and I fear I will succumb to the
addiction again
I am going to go door-to-door and implore my neighbors not to have
any more spring yard sales or flea markets, maybe you might
try that, too :lol:
