Quite. Sheddi and cyclists seldom sell their possessions.

That would explain the complete absence of discussion of second hand bikes
and bike bits bought on eBay here, or advertisments for same :-).

We _buy_ second hand bikes. We don't _sell_ second-hand bikes.

So what do you do with them once you have bought them, or do you have a
bottomless pit in your garden which you are trying to fill?

I mostly give them away, though I confess I sold one to Myra, late of
this parish.

Since I can't ride any more, I will describe the fate of my bicycles:

1) Kuwahara Pacer hybrid: sold to work colleague
2) Brompton folder: given to 12-year-old nephew
3) Cheltenham Pedersen: given to Tim Hall of this parish
4) Flying Scot touring cycle: given to man who later moved into my home.
Biccycle still lives in my hallway.
5) Orbit Harrier touring/Audax machine: same fate as Scot, but lives in
the garage.

My partner sold one of his bicycles to the chap that painted the house...

Make/buy a bigger shed to put them in, obviously.
