I guess there will always be better preserved or restored examples of all my bikes out there, so the pleasure has to be in the riding and the memories, rather than in the ownership. If I had a really valuable bike in the stable, I'd start worrying about theft, insurance, depreciation....and generally start mothballing the thing. Not what I want to do. I run a '74 Flying Scot around town and a '76 Bob Jackson fixed wheel winter trainer. Each has curvy forks and slack angles, ideal for the purposes have in mind. Once I start seeing these bikes as investments, rather than pleasure vehicles, I think I should give them to someone who will enjoy lavishing care and attention on them as much as I have enjoyed using them. My buddy hangs a Hetchins on a wall in his house. It looks fine- and is a work of art by any definition- but when I look at it, I see a bike in need of wheels and a destination!
