I have my ~1070's felt bike that I grew up on in the house along with the newer verisons, and lighter too. What is one to do with a bike that is "old" and out of service. Together, I had a lot of good memories on this bike and we did lots of miles together.
I had it serviced at one of the local shops and had new tires put on it, a terry saddle that actually feels comfotable and will not give one aches and pains sitting on it. So it is in good working order.
At some point, I will pick up a mountain bike to go with my new road bike. I do not have space for the new equipment plus my old trusty bike from the 1970's.
What ideas and suggestions do you all have as to what I should do with it. I am in a house with no garage (Townhome basically).
Thankyou for your help.

Extra bike storage in the bathtub.
Really, how often does one actually USE the bathtub? Perfectly good bicycle storage space for 23 hr and 45 min of the day.

Sometimes I put mine in the kitchen. Just lean it against the table or a counter. If you don't have room for both, then get rid of the table.
