I'd go more of a rider than the others. Mainly I am happy to ride any bike at any time, I am not fussy. Divvy for plooting from here to there? Epic 10K of climbing? You betcha!

With collecting, I am very fussy on what I buy and just as fussy what goes on those bikes. A 1960 derailleur on a 1958 frame? Something not Italian? Not a chance.

As for wrenching, I see it as a necessary evil. My LBS does not know that 1958 derailleur better than me, probably less so. Since I ride my collection, I begrudgingly wrench on them. Doesn't mean I like it.
