Yes
Fair enough, but are you going about it the right way ?Ive been priced out and im pissed about it.
Im the exact polar opposite..?...my " modern bike" (2008??? Ish) saw about 1000 miles last year....out with the dorris on the roads......my " normal" daily driver 1992 retro bikes did all the hard work.It's the thrill of the chase! Hunting down that elusive part at a great price!
That is the hobby.
I don't actually ride these things much if at all!

Ive never even considered looking for parts as the hobby or part of the joy.....for me im just trying to carry on riding the same bike for 32 years and trying to improve / age-modify a better daily driver, finding parts is an occupational hazzard that I dont really need the headache of!
But then i dont have a massive fleet of bikes......imho, i can't see the point.....only one arse for the saddle....... probably got too many now at 4!
But that's ^ a very interesting philosophy........hummmm.
