My interests is top of the line product at relatively depressed prices. Those are the opportunities that if find irresistible. For me, part of the motivation must be the thrill of the hunt, as well and the fine product I will be enjoying for years afterward, both wrenching and riding. The unpredictable nature of these acquisitions means I will probably never find some models I have always wanted, and I own others I never dreamed of. As a result, my collection has a mix of Italian, French, American and Japanese, both mass produced and artisan builders. Bicycles have such variety in frame materials, construction, components, and I enjoy the variety. And I do have an n+1 problem.
