Am I the only one around here who gets all excited about rehabilitating a vintage lightweight, finishes the detective work and rehabilitation (even if its just partial), feels a considerable sense of accomplishment, and then a few days later gets a let down? Does anyone else start feeling a bit unfullfilled and then soon after find themselves prowling thrift stores and surfing ebay and craig's list looking for the next project. Am I alone here, or are there enough of us out there to start a 12 step group? :-)
A related question is whether you prefer to find a bike that needs rehabilitation, or one that comes to you in perfect shape? I am coming to realize that the projects, the diamonds in the rough, are more fun and satisfying for me than the time capsules.
