Where is your C&V bike collection headed ?
- Will it grow larger - or more sophisticated?
- Are you seeking out that Cinelli, DeRosa and Confente Italian super bikes, or are you following a theme, looking for that Raleigh Record to complete your collection of every model pictured in the '73 catalog?
- Maybe you are looking for versatility, with a tourer, a townie, a club bike, a trail rider, a single speed and a modern racer.
- Do you crave curly stays and chromed lugs?
- Are you taking French language classes just so you can commune with your bikes - I mean Velo's?
- Are you the apostle of some particular brand, with a house-full of old Schwinns?
- Are the bikes you're buying today getting progressively more expensive?
- Or are they just getting older and more expensive to repair and maintain?
- Maybe you're just an opportunist scarfing up all the best deals with no real design, rhyme nor reason.
With the incredible variety of C&V bikes your hobby can take all sorts of interesting turns, but where would you like it to go?
(As always, a photo to illustrate your point is more than welcome.)
