Dead right- You will be passing a yard sale one day and there will be a bike at the back. Bit neglected but when you sit on it- it fits. Enquire about the price and you weigh it up. Cost of new tyres and tubes- New cables and probably a can of WD40 to free everything up. Couple that in with the cost of the bike and n+1 is not a problem.

The problem then is staying away from Yard sales.

And resisting is futile.
