I figure what things are worth to me, and what things are selling for and where does that meet... I've got the bikes I want, I've worked hard and been lucky to be able to find and afford them.
decided to get my self a Christmas gift since all of my kids live by the modern rule of "it's better to receive than to give...", and it never occurred to me to visit my LBS and shop for something new. the 1st instinct was to spend (probably) too much on a pristine '74 Moto Grand Record.
