I almost had a short book written here but it was getting boring and off topic. I am not sure if I consider my bikes a "collection" since all meant to be ridden, (if I can ever ride again) but some of them may be considered collectible. over the last year I just picked up a few 'always wanted' or grail bikes, a corregated frame (Cornelo) an original Volpe a TT or Funny bike (Bertoni), a Bianchi Ti Megatube, and few others that I just stumbled across because they were deal or seemed unique.

as for a direction my collection is headed... I think I am firmly, with a few exceptions, rooted in the Nuovo Classic period, '85ish to '95ish. I am not sure I need any more bikes (N+1 factor aside) but if I were to aquire another it would be, as other mentioned, quirky or unusual. I am only looking for a few bikes, but is a good deal comes along on a nice bike I may have to pick it up too.

did I amswer the question or did I just ramble for 10 or 15 minutes??
