That big glass thing with the purse on top of it would make a nice display cabinet for head badges or something.

How much for the floral luggage set? That SOOO matches my drapes and my comforter! It is SO adorable!! Ugh, that chandelier is like so totally 70's...that chandelier belongs in the past, with chest hair and afros!!

LOL!! Funny thing is...even though MOST bicycles here weren't necessarily "toys", the same fotos and captions apply. Well, except for the 40yr old virgin. My vintage bikes actually work well on the girls. I thank TV for that one!

As folks posting stuff you dont think should be included here on the Cabe, well ask these dummies what they think of that...............

Ok dummies ...what do you think ?

Hmmm...and we call them dummies ?

I only hope the "hobby" continues to be as popular as it is today. Lots of younger enthusiast is key to its survival. Repops are a cheesy tribute to our original collections, but even that is a sign of interest enough to make the repops. To me, old bikes are works of art. Art that has come and gone with time and thanks to enthusiast, these gems will be here for generations and may some day only grace museums, but none the less, will endure in some form. And yes......with every hobby there are bottom feeders.

I have been driving my Monark Spartan and Silver Rat, I haven't broke the others out of hibernation yet. But I laugh to myself as I get on and floor it on the trail. Some yuppie riding a Wally-World incarnation of a Classic...moseying right along at 5 MPH...then after they hear someone call "AT YOUR LEFT!"...the real deal passes them like a race bike doing 15 - 20 MPH...the real deal is 50 yrs old and drives on original components...let's see these new bikes do that

So true.........and all the new bikes are mechanical marvels to a degree, but they all look alike and have no redeeming beauty to them.
