LOL, great thread, and one I too can relate to. I picked up a weird Saronni off a guy in a neighbouring city a couple years ago, and he said he had some 'other stuff' I might like, but never heard from him until I saw an ad for an interesting South African Alpina in my size, same guy selling. I called my 'facilitator' and bought, then he said he had a weird mystery bike that he's also selling, so of course I had to see it, and wound up grabbing it as well. Then a week later he messages me that he's moving out of town and has one more bike, plus a Campy Touring groupset for sale. You can guess what happened: the other bike turned out to be a super cool Colner in my size, so now my buddy's living room is full of my new stuff. Then my 'chief facilitator', who lives closer to me, picks up everything, and for a joke sends me a photo of them heaving my stuff in to a dumpster. Just about had a heart attack. Now I've got to downsize, since this is the scene in the 'bike bunker'......
