Peter is fairly well known on the West Coast as a framebuilder, rider of vintage bikes, and a collector.

A collector... or as you say, a HOARDER of boatloads of IDLE PARTS that are just sitting in drawers not being used by anybody!!

I'd say that pretty much describes everyone on this list Don. Criminal? Any of you out there have spare parts? Any of you out there able to ride more than one bike at a time?

I have bikes hanging on my walls... between rides that is.
