Ain't that the truth. I started with my Bianchi and a cheap 16 yo mountain bike last August and within two months of getting involved with the C&V group here (the only one I check besides the PNW) I ended up with 2 Gitane's, 2 Peugeot's, 1 Raleigh, 2 Trek (1 road/1 mtb). All but one of these is an early 80's machine (the other being a '68 - I think).

And, my wife doesn't get it. But, as with most things I do, that's a normal reaction.
