Finally riding a big boys bike
Well said, certain bike are works of art in untouched condition, not all bikes are better left alone but in my opinion certain vintage bicycle are true works of a time period long past, and should be left alone with that unique patina, the same applies to a 10+ find vintage bike in perfect condition paint, tires, seat etc, again this is just my personal opinion, it's those bikes in between this area that the owner must decide on its future, restoration, parts, etc...I believe like many others are saying it's your bike you should be able to do with it as you please but with that being said i've heard many times in this hobby that we are supposed to be the caretakers of these beautiful antique works of art for the next generation or the next person sometimes I spend more money on these beautiful bicycles then they're worth just so I can have them and protect them and keep them as original as possible for the next generation all my bikes are really original and that's all I collect I'm a firm believer in not Parting or restoring original paint bicycles and being a good caretaker for the next generation with that being said somebody said put your money where your mouth is.. if I would've seen that bike for sale you better believe I would put my money down on that that's a very sought after bike and was in good original condition that's just my opinion about the situation by the way I have 80 original heavyweight tank bicycles in my collection
