How many of you would buy a bike that is historical / collectible if it is not your size. I am just curious because my answer would be yes I would. In fact I have done it several times. Now I do have a basic rule that I ride everything I buy/own even if it is not my size but size alone does not disqualify my desire to purchase. Just interested in each of your self imposed rules. I ride just about everything from a 56 inch hi wheel Rudge to a unicycle and even my bladed Ice Bike. The bikes that are my size will get more time in the saddle and miles but again if it is rideable I am on and away.

Ray. I have an Ice bike too and it qualifies as a CR, appears from 1970's,
Mine is a BCA and has a single driven tire that makes ice contact via a brake
lever. I ride a 48-52" Hi wheel and only a 20-24" uni. I'm having a hi wheel uni
built.
Ordinaries and unis are the ultimate fixed gears.
