I used to try to use some form of logic to control my collection. What I learned was doing so was a waste of my time. Why? Because you never know what will show up next. At one time, I was interested in vintage Canadian bicycles. Then an Italian one showed up and I wanted to collect Italian bikes. Then French and so on.
These days, the next bike might become the newest keeper, regardless of where it was made, what it was made for or how fancy (high end) it is. Today, I have three Italian, one Canadian, one from the USA, and one from France. A couple I ride, the rest are wall art.
