I think that’s the way it starts for a lot of people. I was getting back into riding and having fun working on an MTB & old hybrid when I bought a vintage road bike at a yard sale so I joined the Forum to find out what it was. Three years later, I still feel like a rook among sages, but that’s OK, there is still sooo much to learn.
I can’t afford to really keep a collection, I just like restoring bikes. I will always have a vintage road/touring bike around, but I’m kind of into vintage MTBs right now because they can be had for so cheap and are actually very practical bikes. I currently have 3 bikes; a modern road, vintage touring, & vintage Italian race.
