The Art Of Collecting & Qualities Of Vintage Bikes

By Rob Sutter


The art of collecting is something that is seen in just about anyone, depending on what they enjoy. They have an interest in a certain field, which means that they probably want to be able to put money into it so that they can build something tangible. It's clear that there is a lot of time spent in this regard but what are the reasons for it? You will probably be able to detect them easily, whether they involve such things as qualities of vintage bikes or not.

If you were to ask me what my collections entailed, you can be certain that I'd have a few based on the hobbies I hold near and dear to me. I enjoy certain things like professional wrestling, which means that I'm most likely going to be building a collection brimming with DVDs. I also like video games, so attaining physical copies is something that I enjoy immensely as well. Such interests can build from childhood, which was definitely the case for me as I look back on how they started.

When I was around nine or ten years old, I remember tuning into wrestling for the first time and I became a fan almost immediately. I'd be lying if I said that this wasn't difficult as a fan who wanted to show support, though. Keep in mind that I was very young, so I couldn't just buy items that I wanted at a moment's notice. The same could be said about video games, though there are more places to buy them in comparison to areas promoting wrestling wear.

I think it's apparent that the qualities of vintage bikes are expensive as well, though very much worth collecting if there's an interest present. Switching gears for a bit, I'd like to reference the Ferrari that was actually a big part of the 80's movie, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." This was a vehicle that was cared for and it wasn't driven around beforehand because of how much of a collector's item it was. This sense of value can be linked to authorities on the matter such as Linus Bike, too.

Perhaps you're interested in taking your collection efforts to higher levels; why not get into restoration? I've seen this done a multitude of times with cars, in particular, and the results are astounding. People have taken these broken down messes of scrap and worked on them so that they could be restored to the glory which had alluded them for a number of years. After all of the work was said and done, they appeared new again, which still renders me surprised even though I've seen it many times before.
