Every one of these bikes I pick up and restore is one less Walmart POS that gets sold. It is saving bikes that were made to last and giving them new life and a chance to last another 40 years or so. Maybe by then, they will be worth something. I'm not a collector, at least not in the sense you are talking about. Hopefully, among all the bikes I will find one or two jewels that I can restore and keep for myself. But I'm not keeping a list, or turning up my nose at anything that can be saved from the landfill.
