Ahoy !

The purpose of my inquiry is to compile a definitive "best of all possible worlds" list of items should be in a bicycles provenance.

I honestly don't know - I can speculate, of course; but, I don't know what serious collectors consider an ideal provenance.

Make, model, builder, materials, angles, year, re-sprays, owners, etc ? I truly don't know.

As long as some previous owners and builders are still among the quick, I may as well going about things in the proper manner.

Thank you.
