I still regret getting rid of my old Univega Gran Premio. The frame was of Japanese manufactured Tange steel. It had a beautiful sparkly blue paint job. It had Suntour derailers with these funny down tube shifters that when you shifted the rear derailer would automatically trim the front. I sold it to buy parts to build up the colnago frame that my brother gave me. Which ironically I later turned into a fixie. Yes I kept all the parts.
I regret getting rid of all my past bikes. Never again.

I learned my lesson years ago with cars that I sold that I should have kept, and knew I should have kept! So I won't sell any of the bikes I have; I did sell one about 2 weeks ago, but that one I really didn't like it a whole lot, and that was a Nishiki Olympic I sold to a friend who is having problems running after years of running and he really liked the looks of the bike a lot so I parted with it. Then back in 77 or 78 I sold a 76 Trek TX900 with Campy Record stuff I bought new because I needed a better car! But that was youthful stupidity. Otherwise I normally keep all the bikes I've bought over the years. But bikes do take up less storage space then cars and cost less to maintain!
