When you own a bike shop, you tend to accumulate a lot of bikes. As of now, I personally own 15. But I want to transition from just accumulating bikes to building a proper collection. My goal will be to only keep bikes in the collection that have a special place or meaning to me or the shop.
In this series, I'll take you through each bike in my collection and explain how it fits into my future vision. In part 1, I'll focus on the 'keepers'—the bikes I plan to keep in my collection. I'll walk you through each one and explain why it holds a permanent place.
In the next two videos, I'll discuss bikes that may or may not make the cut.
I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. What would you do? Are any of the bikes in this video keepers for you?
