Do you "wall hanger guys" restrict your collection still to bikes you can actually ride if you wanted? I mean if you don't ride it, frame size wou ld make no difference neither would handlebar width etc. Sounds like a perf ect way to break down one of the few barriers to filling a barn or two with bikes.. "I really really want this but it's not my size".

The Colnago in question is out of the running for me on size alone and it' s either a great source of relief or frustration when that happens.

I guess I need to adopt your way of thinking. I feel just 'orrible, rott en really that my Cinelli SC sits unused as I try, in vain, to find a replacement stem for her. I guess I should hang her on my wall and get o ver it. But do bikes with busted stems qualify as "wall hanger" worthy? Ma ybe not.

In the meantime, it's gorgeous here (for a change) and I cannot wait to RIDE my PX-10, with her NOS Cyclo Competition freewheel, and race the 'ell

out of her. I suspect my Cinelli SC is jealous. And for good reason.
