I was curious if anyone else has fallen down this rabbit hole, how the journey has gone for you, what kinds of bikes have you found - and maybe most importantly - what do you do with them?


I think of them as works of art, so how do I display them as works of art? How do I convince my wife (or how did your convince your significant other) that this was a good idea, and that displaying them in a prominent way was a good idea?


A few that I'm currently kind of stalking craigslist:

- Trek 2300

- 1996 Lemond Alpe d huez

- Team Motorola Eddy Merckx

- Lemond Team Z

- 80's Pro Miyata

- 80's Cinelli Super Corsa

- Kestrel 4000
You could say: "Collecting vintage bikes is cheaper than collecting vintage cars, they require a lot less space, and if I sell them again, they will bring a huge profit (at least in percent) that will not be taxed."
