well I solved that one, involve the spouse. Bought her the Eisentraut that Sterling was selling. now its "honey I had to by those NOS Clement Paris-Roubaix tires for the 'traut" ... "yup, gonna build those wheels just as soon as I find some red labels. . ." "by the way, Woody and the LBS said he can get me a DeRosa 25th anniversary with less than 100 miles for about $600, so I thought it would be a good compliment for your 'traut" works every time. My favourite vehicle was a 90 toyota Landcruiser I had in South Africa, not quite the same vintage, but oh my what fun.
