Okay, I don't own any kind of MASI. I may some day but not now. I have read most of these threads with interest and began thinking. What factors go into choosing a bike for collectibility and in what order of priority. Here are things that were discussed and I am sure each of us has their own preferance and passion to share. I just saw such a diverse response to this string that it caused me to review myself. Do you want a collectible bike because....

It is beautiful The Color The brand The size Unusual feature The components The lugs The historic time line The builder Because someone else has one The value The scarcity The ride

I am just curious. I will look to see if there are any responses to this and build a small spreadsheet with just the results, no names. It would be interesting to see what you all think. Do you favor one or more of these factors and how important is that factor in your decision.
