I can definitely understand that. And the "Scrooge McDuck" image of swimming through a vault of money.

But I sat down the other evening, leaning against a box in my garage, and started cataloguing by eye, looking up at the bikes from where I sat and doing everything I could from memory. I hopped up here and now when that failed. It was relaxing, productive, and enjoyable.

The main purpose for me was similar to one of Tom's: "Theoretical Bikes." I want to accellerate the build on a few frames I have, and need a better handle on what I need and how to budget for each build. It's time to ride them!
