Be careful Steve. That's how I got started. My interest in bikes and history in general gravitated me toward THE LIST. Then I started learning through various threads about English bikes and their histories. Then the frames just started appearing. The next thing you know there was a Holdsworth, and then a couple of Vikings, and a Bates, and an HR Morris, and a Mercian, and now recently a Wester Ross. It's a cockamamey disease. Frames stuck to me like fat. If I did more riding instead of gawking I'd probably have less fat, fewer frames, and more money. Be careful Steve.
