Ed brings up a point These bikes just didn't get popular, sold poorer than exp;ected, and never really appreciated I overpaid for the stripped-of-paint one a few years ago, but the guy was broke and I didn't have one on this size

OK, gang, I know many of you are in the same situation, but don't line up yet. I have started uncollecting myself since turning mid-century last year

Are we leading to an intro.? Small family of 5 formerly all into cycling. 3 horses and a dog. too many cars and vans, some in use, 3 domestic motorcycles and about 7 pages double spaced of CR type bikes , about a dozen called personal riders that have been, still are, and will be campaigned on the road, track, and occassional trail. There's an ordinary that gets ridden and tandems, triplets, and a quad for entertaining. Too many pages single spaced of below and well-below CR style, or almost 'donor' bikes.
