I too, will never own a completely NOS bike of collectible quality, but if I did there is no way, no way I could resist riding it.
John Dunn in Napa Valley where you have to worry about that perfect bike getting cold.
> As I've never owned a brand new road bike, and all of my 'vintage' bikes
are in active (occasionally at least) service (ok some are positively
rough!), I'm glad I'll never have to worry about that one. I'm pretty sure
I'll never be able to afford a completely NOS old beauty so I'm fairly
certain I'm not going to have to face this dilemma! (What a cop out eh!) :-)

though, and that would seem a bit of a shame I think.

high end bikes I've ever seen are great to look at and (too) many hang on my
walls. :-P
