The vintage bike thing, thanks primarily to Ebay, is now at the mercy of supply and demand. The supply of vintage bicycles will not go up. But demand is skyrocketing! There will come a day when you and I will truly regret selling some of our POS bikes. At least that is what I believe.

And while on that topic, I think I will invite forum members to boo-hoo about the bikes that they wish they had not sold.
