Anyone else besides me interested in seeing a photo of Spokes bike house?
How about it Spokes, how do you store them all? And do you keep the tires pumped?

I did run out of room at the current house. Here's the new one that I close on next Tuesday.

Dude! Nice crib! (A house like that would go for about 2 million in San Diego.)

I was wondering same, but less about the house and more about the storage set up. There must be 50 bikes there so are they on floor stands, hanging off hooks, etc? Having easy access to that many frames has to be an interesting challenge.

Also wondering about how maintenance and inflation is handled.

Do they all get ridden? some real gems on that list.

And, lastly...want to hear more about the 2017 Colnago Ottanta 5

Well, storage is a combination of free standing floor stands that I can hang 2 or 4 bikes each. Some of the stands are the 2 bike variety that lean against the wall. About 7 bikes sleep in the garage.
All the Colnago's, the Dave Kirk Onesto and the 75th Paramount are still in boxes waiting to be built. I have all the kits for them so it's just taking the time to build them. The Graftek, Masi, Teledyne are just frames. I'll eventually track down the parts so I can build them. One NOS Paramount 50th Anniversary frame will just stay in the box.
I don't ride them all in rotation so I don't worry about keeping the tires pumped😜

as for inflation, its hard enough for me to keep my/wife/daughter bikes inflated, let alone your collection that is 5x larger. I figured you had to just let them deflate.

7 in garage. presumably those are the "daily riders"?
Maybe 10 in boxes or frames. so the other 30 in your house? wow!

Again, some real beauties on that list. Hard to do but if I had to pick five: Ottrott, one of the serotta anniversary bikes Paramount, DK 10th, Ottanta.
