I'm like a bike magnet

[mickle]

Friend #1 has just rocked up today with a 1970's 531 Holdsworth frame and fork. Free. I probably have enough in the parts bin to assemble a whole working bike around it. And it's my size!

Six months ago I had four bikes. (Not including the Super galaxy I purchased to flip), I now have eight bikes. All gifted. All but one are ferrous. Ironically due to poor health I'm at a stage in my life when I can barely ride a bike more than a couple of miles without it wrecking me for 24 hrs. Thankfully I derive just as much pleasure from fannying around with bikes as I do actually riding them.

Pictures to follow.

@biggs682 runs a treatment programme for people with too many bicycles. The treatment is radical and painful, but effective.

@mickle I feel your pain thankfully I am still able to do a good ride, I wouldn't like to be unable to that's for sure.

If you enjoy the tinkering then that's the main thing

Does it involve a seat post and additional shims?

Let's just say the Church of Scientology have copied his technique.
