Four years ago my brother brought over a 82? Centurion Le Mans 12 and a box of parts for me to clean up and rebuild. I even donated my barends to the project. I’m visiting my parents for Thanksgiving and I found it chained to my parent’s porch. They said he brought it here three years ago and it’s just been sitting. I wish I had time to give it a refresh and rides on this visit. Maybe next time.
Any finished projects just sitting around collecting dust/rust?

My first ever build was a Shogun 2000 touring bike/commuter and it has been sitting in my garage for a few months ever since I discovered my youngest’s bike-carrier seat won’t play nicely with the Shogun’s wide profile cantilevers.
I had to convert my gravel rig with discs to a commuter and now my Shogun just glares at me each time I go grab a bike to ride.
This all has made me feel like I need to plan a bike packing trip for spring to make it up to my poor touring bike.
Buy it from him cheap.
Last year I [built one up](https://www.reddit.com/r/xbiking/s/NR2rirC7z3) for my sister to keep at her BF’s house around 45 mins from her. Shortly after, she ended up moving in with him, so her main bike went along. Planning to add fenders, slam the stem, wider bars, and take-backsies when I get the itch.
All of mine
