It takes patience. Being at the right place at the right time. It's who you know and where you live. Knowing when to go big, knowing how to network. Trades, flips, negotiations, the hunt.
thats the thing I suppose - here in the UK nice vintage stuff is very thin on the ground compared to the states, plus we don't have swap meets like you guys so we don't come accross as much nice stuff, If we did I think I would end up like the hoover if we did :roll: .

Personally, finding and building a bike and the people you meet along the way make collecting as much fun as owning the bikes themselves.
Thrill of the chase you mean - Yep ya don't want it to come too easy I suppose, that would be boring - plus, I am always building stuff on a shoestring so a lot of waiting for the right price is involved
