Bicycles, Lot-sa Bicycles

[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="2" orderby="post_name"] I have a mental list lining up somewhere in my brain of how I want my garage/shop lined up, which bikes I want built and how I want them built with what I have in stock in the shop.  Then there's a wish list of bikes and parts for myself but with the budget as tight as violin strings we will make use of what we got. This afternoon I took the time to take apart the XO-1 cross bike as it will become a v-brake 29x1.5 monster bike soon.  The purple Raleigh is getting rebuilt fixie style once I find proper brake stradle cable for the old school center pull brakes.  The Salsa Casseroll will become my road bike once I find the proper front derailleur and new cable/housing, the 6000 will get gears again and the Karate Monkey just needs a new front tire.  Also in that the Xtracycle needs to be put back together for grocery hauling and to get ready for riding down to the Davidson Concert on the Green this summer. In the garage I need to mount the 2x4 to the wall so all our bikes can go up nicely and then also purchase a 2nd lower one so the kids can put theirs up.  Take the work stuff to offsite storage (big seat from the work van and a large xmas tree.) And work on getting the furniture from Kim's old house sold or somewhere other than the garage! A lot of things to do, and right now I just want to ride my BIKE!
