Well, Despite my favorites list, My collection does be mostly aero bikes, or clunkers. Sometimes a bike that's both. Bikes I want? almost all of them,
I mean I do have a Huffy Santa Fe. Positron equipped, just to show that index shifting isn't all that new. The things I'd be more interested in?
1)Any real serious funny bike. The more purpose built, the better. Have Richard Sachs Or Brian Baylis ever made one of these?
2)Any cambio corsa or Paris-roubaix bike just to try riding for awhile. Other Old/ weird shifting systems would be cool too.
3)Some of the commemorative bikes, like the 51.151 panto'd Mosers.
Of course the cost is a big factor on most stuff like this lately.
4)Low end aero bikes, Huffy Aerowind etc. I know, real junkers, but So funny that anyone thought flattened tubes would help a 40+Lb bike
5)an early 80's Vitus. The shop I hung out at had one the guy was going to build for himself, Blue tubes. When did the inner cable routing start? All the ones I see have it, but the one I recall didn't have that or any braze ons.
Better stop here, I could get carried away.

Wow, Wheels Of the World! As I scan all of these lists I can't help but think there is always more room in the garage:) I think it is great that so many bikenuts came out of lurk mode to share, errrr, tease us with their collections. Although I have not taken up 'smoking' I did turn a shade of green, uh, celeste with envy... My only complaint is that nobody listed the sizes of their bikes! btw - I am a 53 c-t :) Nundge, nudge, wink, wink. I also wonder if some of the collection are theme related? All Italian, British, 531, all the same color:) But some are just very eclectic and really have really helped me expand my horizons and maybe garage!
So, park your 993 Cabriolet out in the driveway to make room for what you really need. And show us your wish list so we can all help with your quest! Maybe your next 3 wants...
What I need in my Garage:
1.) Richard Sachs 2.) Brian Baylis 3.) Bill Philbrook or Bill Hurlow
Oh, I would love to have something like a Thanet Silverlight or Jack Taylor curved!
