^"I'd better buy this one or there may not be another one along in my lifetime."

This is why I jumped on a Mclean/Silk Hope when it became available to me (plus it was my size). The only thing really preventing me from getting a Sachs, Colnago, and the like is $$$, not availablity. I lucked out w/ the Silk Hope, getting the chance to buy it + a reasonable price.
