Mine will all go to my daughter who is currently 21 years old. Hopefully, she'll keep one or two that are most reminiscent of me for herself, and sell the others to the current crop of young collectors - i.e. guys like Arno Volkers - who will then be middle aged collectors.

As for their monetary value, I've put a fair amount of miles on all of them - including the track bikes - so I already have received my money's worth from all of them. Mind you, I'm talking about 8 bicycles here, rather than one of those enormous collections that some CR list members own.
