Every single one of the major players selling vintage parts in the past ten years has had a passion for bikes. They all could have made a lot more money selling just about any other collectable you could name. Selling vintage bike parts is no way to make money if you are at all serious about making money.
They seem like they just sell stuff but they _never_ let you know what they keep for themselves.
