Don't know what to say! I don't want to go over the top and make a fool of myself.

Will you be my husband? We can enjoy your collection together.

Al.

p.s. I am a man!! But i can cook 'n' stuff.

Al meant cousin, not husband. Or he´s been drinking. Either way, i see his point...

Unless cousins get half of everything, then no!

You should read it all, it´s a very interesting thread.

Anyway, Eric says on his 1st post that it took 5 to 8 years to collect everything.

Only if you are the same height and your collection has completely different bikes. Then yes.

Oof, thread back from the dead.

Yeah, quite a few years at this point. Its constantly changing though. My collection now is different from what I have there...

Probably time for a new group photo once I finish off a few more projects.

Haha, I tend to do that- bringing back threads from the dead, especially if the stuff in them is timeless.

I guess a better question would have been: How long have you been collecting in total?
I was a rider back in the late 80's and early to mid 90's, but never a collector.
then I had a bad injury, and was out of biking for a few years. A couple years back, i got back into it, and became more of a collector. So maybe I've been at this for a good two to three years.

Again, great bikes; I would pick each one for a favorite something or other, hard to pick one overall. If I had to choose; I would pick the 1992 fillet brazed Steve Potts Custom to hang on my wall, and the Ritchey to ride ...but I love the bamboo paint scheme on the Goat...might get that paint scheme done on one of my bikes if funds permit someday (Jeff firstflight bikes has a thread on here with a freshly painted bamboo goat)

Well eric,

You will be pleased to know that i have sold most of my collection!

But of the three that are left non are the same as yours. So if you are 6 feet 2 inches tall then congratulations!!!

Cheers,Al

p.s. You name the date? Oh, this may come as a shock to you but i will not be wearing white!

ER, i've been patiently waiting to see your Valkyrie... but my patience is running out! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

For God's sake, either finish it or sell it to me!!!

Ugh, that project. I need a really long seat binder and I'm dreading setting up the IRD brakes. It gets pushed back over and over again.

I've got 2-3 projects in the works that'll all be killer though.
