agrees
get out and ride !!!
Seabeowner:
What I mean is, the people who will buy this type of bike will not ride it....unfortunately. There are thousands of bikes safely(??) tucked away everywhere. Many owned by people who are too old to ride or have never ridden.
On top of this many bikes are meticulously rebuilt and then owners are too worried to use them and trailer them to events.

..... except for the strange people who want to own it just for ownings sake............ It's these weird people that drive the prices sky high................... Only a real tiny number of people even know what a Sandcast is, and an even smaller number would pay anything like that for one...

I´m afraid there are a lot of "strange people" out there that own old bikes but dont ride them.
Some of them are in a shed, some of them are forgotten behind the house, some of them are restorated, some of them are in the living room, some of them are in a museum ...
Maybe you write to Mr. Silver and tell him what bikes are made for referring to his museum.
What is your problem with rising prices? Do old bikes have to stay cheap, do you need a seventh bike for sunday?
Regarding sandcasts: correct.

Who cares what other people do with their own property, it's up to them. My mate has several bikes he never rides, but that's cos he's too old and can hardly walk never mind ride. He loves his bikes and enjoys them for what he has left. Leave him alone, when you get like that you just might have a different outlook on what you have in your garage. Or will you sell your bikes to "young" people so you can sit in your high chair whilst waiting for the health visitor to call in and wipe you clean, cos that's what you're saying to me.
