CR'ers,

What's with all this talk about NOS bikes that are not in service? For me, to have a finely crafted classic bike is ALL about riding it. That's why it was made...what it is. You can still hang it on the wall if you like ( bet ween rides! ), enjoy it's beauty and the skill with which it was made. I'd much rather see that 40 year old Singer rolling out for BMB ( which starts tomorrow!! )than in you trophy room, unused. Chips on the underside of the downtube worry you? It just shows me you enjoy riding it!

We see this in all areas, whatever they may be, classic cars, motorcycles, etc. Go watch some historic racing sometime, cars worth millions of dollars , doing what they were made to do. So take them of the wall and go for a r ide.....
