A guy ain't allowed to hoard? Yeah, I have a big garage (18x26), plus I'm single, so the house is littered with bikes/frames/parts too.

yeah, i picked up a bike off Kijiji for the ex a few weeks ago. Prestige, XT/LX, Avid levers, Mavic, and Tektro brakes. friend don't let friends use Tektro, so I picked up the 2.0s for it. The Mags were in the same bin, so I grabbed them too. There were Arch Rivals in there as well, but they were mismatched (2.0+3.0) so I left them.
The son of the owner of the LBS has officially taken over the business. He and the scuds are going through everything and tossing out a lot of the useless crap his father squirreled away, and I've been going through the bins before stuff gets tossed at my leisure. The kidz don't know a lot about the older stuff. They've been told nothing gets thrown out till I have a look, but sometimes things slip through. Stopped in today and there were a couple of things on the bench for me. They almost got thrown out. I'm thinking aversion therapy with a cattle prod may be needed to reinforce the directive.
