I'm seeing a few bikes on my local CL that would have moved pretty quickly a couple of years ago. Now they just hang around tempting me but not being sold.

Thing is, I've already got three bikes I really like, and that's enough. At this point I'm willing to skip spending $400 on that single-owner 70s Raleigh International in favor of rebuilding the wheels on the Volare with TB-14s (or some other purchase that'll bring my bikes one step closer to "perfect"). And I'd still have a few bucks left over.

Maybe I was the market.
