Great question! Personally I'd rather have a room full of toothpicks than a collection of concours condition bicycles that I couldn't enjoy riding because they were too small or too large in size. Bikes are too fun to ride to be reduced to objects no matter how rare. Heck, I'd even ride Reg Harris' RRA once (or maybe twice) if I were so lucky to own it. And it's my frame size too!!
