Well isn't that the thing, the Holy Grail has yet to be found, hope it never is in my lifetime, then what would be the quest that keeps us striving for the ultimate treasure?
Though I'd be happy if the only bike I could hold onto was my 75 Alex Singer...

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... Tom Sanders Lansing, Mi
