Must say, I never understood the appeal of unridden bikes either. I mean, you may pay double for such a bike versus an excellent used one. And then you dare not actually use the thing for the purpose for which it was made least you instantly lose half your investment. IMHO life is too short for that sort of foolishness.

Boy ya got that right, John! Nothing beats a well cared for bike with the patina that occurs from normal use. In my opinion it just makes the bike glow! Never ridden bikes? Sad. They're like spinsters...
