Subject: [CR]What is the "Holy Grail" bicycle

This has just been asked in different forms by a couple of folks. I strongly suspect that other collectors are as fickle as I am. I have had several Holy Grails in bicycles. Each time I get one, the target shifts to another that I don't have. It always seems for me to be the next one that has thus far eluded my grasp. Once I get any of these from a Richard Sachs to a Baylis or a Weigle or Roberson I suddenly seem confronted by yet another that I have not yet acquired. Time after time I think I am about done collecting and then off I go again. Holy Grail seems to be a shifting thing...maybe I'm sick or something. There are just so darn many great bikes that one could never own all of them...except maybe Dale...
