Nope, your not a "nutter" Suzy, and if you stick around here, that makes 6 women I know of who also frequent this mailing list and associated events and are of like mind. I'm pretty sure that I can safely say that we'd all rather have a really fine vintage bicycle as a gift, than some fancy piece of gold and diamond jewelry.
Actually, I asked my Significant Other for a really nice digital camera for Christmas so I could take quality pictures of my bicycles and everyone else's.
As for your Malvern, how come I never find rare and interesting historic bicycles on the curb? Sheesh, I work in a shop too!
