the urge to purge

or, when is many too many?

I've finally decided to downsize my fixie collection (I'm keeping four). one might ask why four. well, i simply can't get rid of them. simple enough. The rest, and their parts. I'm purging in a most cathartic manner: the fixie list, craigslist and ebay. hopefully before I split for europe in two weeks.

I am keeping:
1) Matt Chester
2) Yamaguchi
3) Bontrager
4) Carlton
