I relate to the recent thread on how much is too much. Couple years ago, sold the house and moved 250 miles to a much smaller dwelling - that wakes you up about your possessions and priorities. I went from about 30 bikes to 17. It was cathartic to shed so many possessions (the bikes weren't the only things to go).
Since the move, however, the collection has taken a decided turn to higher quality. I attribute that to the disicipline imposed by space constraints and changed outlook the move facilitated. Ideally, I'd like to get it down to a baker's dozen, but just like shedding those last few pounds, or climbing that last little rise, the discipline required increases with the difficulty of your goal.
And, a new desert always seems to present itself, like the 70's orange Masi GC I hope to pick up tomorrow...
