I was hoping Guy Apple's note would start a long string of replies. I have a small collection of 7 vintage bikes and another 6 off topic rides that get more frequent use. I've begun to wonder how I would handle storage if I acquire more, which given this addiction seems inevitable. Since there are rumors that certain CR listers have collections in excess of 30 bikes, I was looking forward to seeing how the strorage/display situation is handled.
To try and keep this going I'll share my setup. I'm fortunate that I live in rural New England where large out buildings are common, after all we have to store snowplows, snow blowers, tractors, etc. Also, houses have full basements. I have a 4 car garage with a walk up loft and a workshop behind all heated. The vintage bikes are stored in the loft along with my photo set up. I'm inspired by Ray Dobbins photos but clearly need more practice. The everyday bikes are in the worshop at the back of the garage and the bike workshop and parts inventory is in the basement of the house.
