right then.

Patchy the relationship failure has split up with themissus, and is now back living in a shared house. only prob is, my new housemates are getting rather irate at the 3 bikes now littering the house (and it's only after 3 days).

We have a mini garden which would probably fit one of those storage units in – does anyone have any experience of them? Are there any which aren't excessively expensive? what are they like to disassemble for moving?

help please – otherwise they'll have to live in my room, and while that might be heaven for some, i dread the day i wake up embracing my Cayo...

    Exactly, its ok to play with the bottom bracket... some of us have been there all lonely and cold over the winter months with no one to hold you.... just don't tell anyone...

    Seriously save money, put the bike's in your room, leave one at a family members house locked in the garage - tell em its a temporary arrangement.. that sort of thing.

    Can you live with one bike in your room and store the others at a friend's garage or something until you find a more permanent arrangement? I've had a MTB in my friends' garage "temporarily" for 2+ years now :oops: I'll get it back soon, promise.
    Today is a good day to ride

    haha! we have a plan people. I'm gonna get a shed off freecycle, get one of those bracket thingy or floor anchors and lock everything down.

    Until then. the bikes are staying in the room. Do you think a Specialized Langster would prefer red or white wine?

    ChrisLS – so far it's involved tequila, hardcore punk and some very bad dancing. Leonard's sitting and waiting for me to put him on the record player though...
