I think I have a problem. Anyway - collecting season is over for me 
. But I couldn't pass this up for 60 bucks.. Should be a blast to ride around!

Raleigh Twentys are super fun to ride. You got a great deal.

Was this in Douglas, MA? If so I was just looking at it on CL! If not...well, then there's another one out there. Someone is also selling a 1912 Iver Johnson loop frame with wooden rims--no set price but I assume he wants a small fortune for it. And that'd be a bike it'd be hard to ride--you really would need to hang it up on a wall...
It is VERY hard to break the collecting/bike-rescuing habit!

yes--I meant um...Sportses--I knew you had a bunch. But you're refining your collection and hey--at least your bikes are getting smaller!
I am trying to cull my herd but it's very, very difficult. I'll probably wait til the spring. Meantime I have to resist buying that Humber and a couple of others I've seen...

I've been wanting one ever since I read the Sheldon Brown page. If I ever get my hands on one, it's definitely going to be modeled on one of his—drop bars, leather saddle, fixed gear.

Why stop there? For those prices you should pack that basement and start selling in the spring.
