...have you ever been in a situation where some other Classic enthusiast, who rides the same size frame as you lives nearby ? There was this one guy who used to regularly stop by the co-op here, take advantage of the fact that I was busy managing, buy a donation that was interesting to me, and then parade it in front of me. I once had a 70's Colnago lined up from a friend we both knew, only to find he had swooped in and pressured the guy into selling it to him. This whole hobby has a very, very seamy side, that never gets mentioned.
