I don't know what category it would be exactly but I look for nice classics that are undervalued.
I guess is be a bottom feeder opportunist.
I know undervalued is relevant to time and place but if I find a bike I know is worth at least 2x the asking in about any market I grab it.
i find 80s Japanese bikes and upper end Schwinns are easy picks around my area. SF Bay Area.
I've bought quite a few nice bikes for 100 bucks from people that have no interest in classic bikes. To them, they're just old bikes that's going to cost too much to have a bike shop fix it up or something that's been sitting in the rafters for years and has to go.
I try to keep all bikes intact and original but I have parted out several bikes too for various reasons.
Its gonna be A hell of a yard sale when I'm dead.
